THE SUPERNATURAL SENSE OF FAITH AND CANONIZATIONS

This paper deals with the connection between the supernatural sense of the faith of God's People, according to the II Vatican Council documents and to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or sensus fidei since Vincent de Lernis, the infallible teaching, and the canonizations or the "dogmatic facts." It also discusses the incidence of the sensusfidei on the homogeneous development of the dogma and on popular devotions, specifically on that of Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer.
