Paragraph 4. THE CREATOR

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

310
But why did God not create a world so perfect that no evil could exist in it?
With infinite power God could always create something better.¹⁷⁴ But
with infinite wisdom and goodness God freely willed to create a world “in
a state of journeying” towards its ultimate perfection. In God’s plan this
process of becoming involves the appearance of certain beings and the disappearance
of others, the existence of the more perfect alongside the less perfect, both
constructive and destructive forces of nature. With physical good there exists
also physical evil as long as creation has not reached perfection.¹⁷⁵
