Well this article is quite the rabbit hole:
https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05397b.htm

But may give a little better sense of Emanation as it may be used in
Catholic theology (not a common term, to my knowledge).

In Percy, man's search for God is undertaken in the arena of people and
things in the world. It's possible to seek Him there because all of created
Being emanates from Him. Kind of like how you can tell a little bit about
an artist from seeing his art.

Anyway. Hope that is helpful.

Also, I've been following on here for a while now, but haven't introduced
myself. I'm an English teacher living in New Jersey. Discovered Percy in
college and 'reverted' to Catholicism shortly thereafter.

Cheers,
Joe Francisco
