Deism teaches the watchmaker analogy , and Catholicism teaches about the gift of free will and the natural order of things. Those seem to have a lot in common.

For instance:
According to Catholic Tradition - Might God apologize for some things after we die? Or will He simply remind us of things like:
- "I gave people free will, and free will meant that I could not intervene. Some people chose evil, and that evil hurt some good people. It is what it is."
- "I set the world in motion. That is all. Natural disasters are a scientific phenonemon; they aren't something that I specifically or intentionally created."
- "Some good people died young because they fell victim to viruses, bacteria, plagues, and/or bad genes. Again, it's all science, and the natural order. I had nothing to do with it."

So does Catholicism share some beliefs with Deism?
