From the earliest centuries of the Church, Catholics have understood that the world is charged with meaning. Creation is not a mute expanse of matter but a living sign, a visible expression of invisible realities. Scripture, likewise, is not a flat record of ancient events but a divinely authored text whose depths cannot be exhausted by a single reading. The Catholic tradition has always insisted that God speaks in many registers at once: through history, through symbol, through prophecy, through sacrament, and through the interior movements of the soul. Allegory, in this context, is not a literary ornament or a clever interpretive trick. It is a theological instrument-one of the privileged ways by which the Church perceives the unity of God's revelation and the coherence of salvation history. To speak of allegory in the Catholic sense is to speak of a mode of seeing, a way of reading the world and the Word with the eyes of faith.
