Does Catholicism Share Some Beliefs with Deism?
score:6
Accepted answer
One of the core distinctives of deism is that its adherents do not believe that the deity either gives special revelations or performs miracles. As both of these are major parts of Catholicism, I don't think it makes any real sense to say that deism is embedded inside Catholicism. Instead they just share some beliefs, such as human rationality and that the world normal functions without miracles.

There is no theological relationship between Catholicism and Deism. The only possible metaphysical relationship that Catholicism shares with Deism-(or that Deism shares with Catholicism), is the fact that both believe in a singular Deity.
