God is being itself and thus metaphysically greater than anything in the material domain. Everything in the material world is and owes its being to the ground and cause and source of all being, which is God.

On the contrary. Monotheistic theology is the pre-requisite for the scientific endeavor. Catholic monasteries served to safeguard knowledge for centuries and gave birth to the modern day university. Some of the most profound and significant scientific discoveries and innovations have been credited to Catholic priests, astronomers, physicist, chemists, and biologists. All following our uniquely human impulse to know truth, to do good, and to witness beauty in creation.

"I don't see any god up here." - Yuri Gagarin. First person in outer space.
Scientific or empirical evidence reveals powerful truths about the material, contingent world and its interactions. Science harnesses the innately human impulse to know truth whereby we utilize technology and process to reveal patterns of intelligibility woven into creation.
In the example of a painting - science can tell us about the canvas and paint being used, but it would fundamentally be unable to offer anything about the artist.
Christians believe in an immaterial God, who is beyond time, space and the material world. Is there scientific evidence for immaterial things like love, care, intention or forgiveness? No. But as humans, we know these things exist and are able to discern the signs pointing the way to these transcendent, immaterial qualities.

Eve being created from one of Adams ribs. Noah's arc and the flood. Jonah being swallowed by a whale and staying in its stomach for three days. The bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven of Jesus Christ.
If these stories are read through a materialistic, reductionist framework they will not yield the deep, metaphysical, psychological and spiritual truths on offer. If your purpose is to understand these ancient texts, you must breakout of the overly rational, reductionist worldview brought on by the enlightenment.
A more tropological reading of the story of Jonah for example, would illustrate the reality of conscience as a pathway to God. John Henry Newman said the voice of conscience is "the aboriginal Vicar of Christ". What happens when we don't listen and follow the voice of conscience? That is, the voice that tells us what we ought to do. Disaster will inevitably strike, affecting not only us but those around us.

"...it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves." Lev. 25:44-46. "Better the wickedness of a man than the virtue of a woman." Sirach 42:14. "Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death." Lev. 20:9.
Bible literacy is a major issue even amongst believers. Extracting a single book, verse or line from any piece of literature, and honing in on it to derive the meaning and purpose of the entire corpus, is going to be misleading. An ancient text written in a foreign language, carrying within it relics from cultures and societies of time gone by, will present interpretative hurdles.
As Catholics, we believe the Bible should be read as a whole; giving proper context to each genre therein. In no better place will you find this opportunity than at the Mass. It should also be read Christologically, that is, through the life, teachings, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus. Only then can the grand narrative arch of the Great Story be fully revealed.

There is indeed overlap between Catholicism and other forms of religion. Catholicism affirms the fundamental relationship between God and humanity. There are elements of truth in all the great religions of the world.
But when you're talking about objective truth and an objective God, it follows that you will find yourself in greater or lesser proximity to that objective source.
We believe that Catholicism has received and participates in the relationship to God in the fullest way possible. Through the Church, the liturgy, the Sacraments and in right worship and sacrifice to what is most high.

Catholic theology does claim a supernatural God, meaning a God who is outside of the material, natural world. We also believe that God exists in and through all things. Thus, the supernatural is something that encompasses and permeates creation.
A Sacramental worldview and the three transcendental qualities of the good, the true, and the beautiful are helpful pathways to relating personally with the one true God.
These qualities are not entirely native to the material world, but they do make themselves known to us through their physical manifestations. Like God revealing himself to Moses in the burning bush, we are offered a glimpse at what is beyond, through the physical world.

Our word "revelation" comes from the Latin word revelatio, meaning "to uncover". The Greeks used the word apokalypsis to describe revelation, which meant a "lifting of the veil".
As Catholics, we believe that Truth exists and does reveal itself to us. We believe that we are made and blessed to come into a relationship of knowing with truth. The patterns of intelligibility through the created world helps to shed light on the goodness and order and truth behind creation.
The Christian God calls us and speaks to us. And did so in a profound way as author of The Great Story.

Humans have a fallen nature and are victims of our own concupiscence (tendency to sin). Human institutions will inevitably be corrupted. John the Baptist fled the temple to worship in the desert due to institutional corruption. Christ upbraided the Pharisees for weaponizing God's law and worshipping their own man made influence, prestige and social status.
Catholics believe that the Church is our Mother. Drawing all of us together in her warm embrace for nourishment and rebirth via the Sacraments. All as adopted sons and daughters of God. The Church represents a meeting of heaven and earth in a cosmically significant way.
When someone is speaking ill or treating your mother poorly, do you abandon her? In times of hardship is when the Church needs us most.

Community (relationship) is vital to human existence and flourishing. We were not made to be alone. The community aspect found in parish life is of high value for many of us. But it is a secondary aspect, or byproduct, of the Mass. Right worship is the primary reason for attending the Mass.
Worship involves intention, attention, organization, celebration, reverence, and the living out of faith in an experiential form of knowing.
When we worship, we see and know and marvel at, fall in love with, are nourished by, celebrate, honor and thank that which is most high, which we call God.
Not because God needs our worship. Worship is for us and is part of being human. Right worship leads to human flourishing.
When the Mass is understood properly as the re-presentation of Christs sacrificial act and the privileged encounter we have with Him through His Real Presence in the Eucharist; the Mass should find its rightful place, at the center of our life.
