I am not aware of any orthodox Catholic thinker who has said that God is
not all-powerful, in any sense.  I would be interested in knowing which
Catholic thinkers would make such a claim.  As I understand it, the
Catholic 'move' is to say that the claim that God can't do evil is
ultimately incoherent.
