   I think this is now in effect.   
      
   I think Catholics who stick to the Nicene Creed   
   definition of their God have a match, but when they   
   add to that "the personification of perfect love"   
   and/or "the one who came to Earth as Jesus"   
   they don't have a match.   
      
   Also those who define Jesus as an   
   anointed-by-the-divine man (a christ type)   
   I think have a match, but if they add to that   
   "the incarnation of God" I think they don't   
   have a match.
