The Sensus Fidei and the Synod

In 2014 there were two events which at first did not seem to be connected. The first was the preparation for and the taking place of the first session of the Synod on family life and the second was the publication of the document “Sensus Fidei in the Life of the Church” by the International Theological Commission. However, after studying the document it became clear to me that in fact the two are intimately linked.
