I’m confused what CCC says about make men gods???:confused:
  1. The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature”:78 "For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God."79 "For the Son of God became man so that we might become God."80 "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods
 
It is an expression. It does not mean that we literally become God. The Trinity is about the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They share fully with each other. Through the sacraments we have the indwelling of the Trinity and share in the life of the Trinity. Through the sacraments God welcomes us into a relationship with Trinity.

Perhaps, an imperfect, example will help: being adopted into a family. When we are adopted into a family we enter into a family relationship that did not exist prior to the adoption. However there is still a distinct difference in our DNA, genes, biology, etc. In a similar way through the sacraments we are adopted into the Trinity as brothers and sisters of the Son and share in the life and love of the Trinity. However we are still distinctly different from God.
