At about 6: 45 in this video, right after the Mormon bashing is finished it says something about the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaching that we many become gods. I've heard similar accusations leveled against the post Vatican II catechisms, is it true?

I read into the quote by Aquinas, and it seems to be referring to theosis. Theosis is not a dogma, and is mainly believed in the Orthodox Church(es). Theosis means that one becomes united with God, and is able to enjoy the presence of God and the beatific vision. St. Athanasius said “The Son of God became man, that we might become god”, Aquinas said along the same lines, but it is St. Peter who probably said it most clearly; 2 Peter 1:4 “By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.” Theosis could also refer to us becoming part of the Body of Christ during Communion. It is completely different from anatheosis as believed by the Mormons, which means that those in Heaven take on a divine nature of their own.

I will PM Hobble to see what he has to say about this... its  very interesting.

I know the Mormon church takes it a step further and states that when they become gods, they get to rule their own universe and world like our God does. But they also say, that the Holy Ghost actually and physically conceived our Lord with the Blessed Mother (May God have mercy on them), that the Devil is Christ's brother, and other horrific things.

I have had extensive discussions with certain young Mormons who knocked at my door some years ago. For some reason they found me fascinating or something (perhaps because I may have been the only guy in the neighborhood who could cite Sacred Scripture and ask questions of a theological nature) and they frequented my home throughout the summer.

I got them to admit that: 1) God the Father does have a physical body and this does imply a blasphemous conclusion regarding the Incarnation of which I am not even going to think of typing; 2) Our Lord Jesus came to the Americas and promulgated another public revelation, resulting in the Book of Mormon; 3) Individual deceased persons may be baptized and become Mormon, which is why the Mormons are usually obsessed with genealogies and family histories; 4) The soul becomes a "god" and inhabits some sort of planet (or something to that effect). They told me that these "doctrines" are only revealed to those advanced in whatever initiation process they have, and that not all "beginners" can take these things.

The more I refuted their arguments, the more they came at me with still further arguments containing more baffling absurdity, and they kept inviting me to their temple or whatever. When I saw that these kids were definitely brainwashed and that there was little progress to be made, I recited the Apostolic Symbol and they forthwith left my presence never to return.

One cannot have fruitful exchanges with individuals whose cosmovision is so skewed by aberrant philosophical errors regarding the most basic realities (for example, that God is pure spirit and cannot be composed of a material body). This is why it is morally impossible for some modernists to convert.

Moral of the story: take away Thomistic-Aristotelian philosophy, and you chip away at the foundations of the faith until you have some of the most weird aberrations that only the stupid mind of man can make up.
