Personally, I've always read the Catapult to mean your own turn since
there are normally no cards in Fluxx that can be played out of turn
sequence (i.e. during someone else's turn). The Catapult actually reads
"once per turn" which means *your* turn (cf. weapons in Zombie Fluxx).
So far as Finger of God is concerned, I would call it a legitimate
play if someone repeatedly used and played the Finger of God since it
does not have the limiter of "once per turn" on the card. Yes, with
Play All it could potentially mean someone could happily purge
themselves of their Creepers, but then such is Fluxx and if someone is
clever enough to spot that tactic in order to win then power to them.
;-)
Anyway, that's the way I see it.

a Creeper, and then it goes back into your hand. If the rules are
Play 3, is there anything to prevent someone from playing FoG,
discarding a Creeper, playing it again, discarding another Creeper,
and playing it a third time, then discarding a third Creeper, taking
FoG back into his hand and thus finishing his turn?
