Catholics in the 17th century stole the name of Shangdi, a native Chinese god. This is how slimy these fucks are. To this day many Chinese believe Shangdi refers to the Abrahamic/Christian god.

This isn't even the first time Christians have been known to conflate indigenous father gods of other cultures with their god as the original conversion of Greeks/Romans was based on conflating Zeus with the Abrahamic god. The same process occurred in regard to Christian interactions with Germanics, Incans, Aztecs etc.
