The Sensus Fidei and canon law
How can the major tendencies in the evolution of canon law since about fifty years contribute to a multidisciplinary analysis of the changes within the Catholic Church itself? Is it possible to discern certain links or clues of a connexion between the evolution of canon law and the changes in the Catholic Church in the secularized societies of North-West Europe, or even between the malfunction of the former and the weakening and subsidence of the latter? This article hopes to show how a triple crisis of legitimacy, effectiveness and legality of canon law brings to light the evolution of the Catholic Church and the issues involved in a new relationship between responsibility and authenticity.
L'A. presente l'argumentation d'un certain nombre de theologiens concernant le sensus fidei depuis la conclusion de Vatican II. Il examine le poids qu'ils accordent au sensus fidei dans la vie de l'Eglise, comment ils comprennent sa nature, ses sujets, ses rapports avec le magistere hierarchique.
