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?
