  According to Henry, there is no real community, within creatural being, between substantial being and accidental being; as a consequence, given that the distance between God’s being and creatures’ being is much greater than the difference between the being of substance and that of accidents, being cannot be something common to both God and creatures. When being is predicated of God and creatures, this only happens on the basis of the community of the name, and not of a real community: we are not dealing therefore with a univocal predication, nor we are dealing with a purely equivocal predication, but with an intermediate, that is analogical, predication, one in which the term ‘being’ primarily and directly relates to God, and only in a secondary way to creatures, since the latter derive their being from God.
