Apophatic and cataphatic theology

What I believe is closer to the apophatic than the cataphatic tradition. I would deny that the transcendent creator X can be described effectively in human language because human language attempts to limit the limitless, to concretize the transcendent. This puts me in the company of Tertullian, St. Cyril and Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
