The components of a "Catholic imagination" have been the subject of commentary both scholarly and popular since the publication of Fr, Andrew Greeley's Catholic Imagination in 2000. In framing the analogical mode as distinctly Catholic, Greeley identified familiar and consoling elements of ordinary Catholic practice. But other metaphors, less consoling, form a Catholic imagination too, to challenge an imagination that emphasizes the presence of God in all things.
