A catch 22 means either option gives the same result. Like damned if you do or damned if you don't.
But The Truth is unequivocal. When one knows The Truth one is free, but when one knows not The Truth one is enslaved by Truth's counterfeit the lie.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Catch 22 refers to paradoxical situations
For example;
banks only lending money to people who have money.
employers only taking on people with experience.
god proving his existence only to people who already believe in him.
being too unfit to exercise.

But then in my experience people who claim something is 'self evident' typically do so to avoid giving a rational explanation.
