Rhetoric and the Catholic Imagination

The Catholic imagination encourages a sacramental appreciation of a world that is full of grace. Catholics understand that each baptized person has a unique vocation to fulfill, a particular way in which he or she is invited to cooperate with God in bringing about His Kingdom. That is no less true for Catholic rhetoricians, who see in history and public controversy glimpses of God's plan for salvation, and who are called to respond to God's invitation by joyfully entering civic life sustained by church teaching drawn from the truth of scripture and tradition.
