" Simply said, whatever is not repugnant to a finite nature is, by definition, an intrinsic possibility of that nature. If divinity is “compatible” with the humanity of a creature made in God’s image, then divinity is itself an inherent possibility of humanity—an inherent property, in fact, even if in only potential form. That this possibility can become an actuality only by way of God’s action toward the creature in no way diminishes or qualifies this truth. "
