Catechism of the Catholic Church

In their religious behavior, however, men also display the limits and errors that disfigure the image of God in them: (29) > Very often, deceived by the Evil One, men have become vain in their reasonings, and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and served the creature rather than the Creator. Or else, living and dying in this world without God, they are exposed to ultimate despair.
