St. Thomas says that when people deviate from the Catholic understanding of God, what they end up doing is worshiping their own idea of him; their own opinion rather than Him.
Answering the question “Whether Unbelief is the Greatest Sin,” St. Thomas wrote:
Man is more than ever separated from God by unbelief, because he has not even true knowledge of God: and by false knowledge of God, man does not approach Him, but is severed from Him. Nor is it possible for one who has a false opinion of God, to know Him in any way at all, because the object of his opinion is not God.
When You deviate from
THE Catholic Church Understanding of God passed on from the Apostles
You end up worshiping your idea and opinion of God
Rather than the Real God who has revealed how to Love and Worship Him
Will He say, I never knew You?
