In theology and philosophy, describing statements that assert what God is, using positive attributes or definitions.
From Greek 'kata' (down) + 'phanai' (to speak/declare), contrasting with 'apophatic' which describes negative theology.
Mystics argue about whether we can truly describe God—cataphatic theology says yes, God is loving and just, while apophatic theology says God is beyond all description!
