Sensus Fidelium
Sensus Fidelium is a Catholic YouTube channel and online platform dedicated to educating and inspiring the faithful through sermons, interviews, book reviews, podcasts, and slideshow-style videos of homilies. The name "Sensus Fidelium," Latin for "the sense of the faithful," reflects its mission to deepen piety, knowledge, devotion, and love for the Catholic Church, aiming to evangelize and highlight the beauty of the faith. The channel covers a wide range of topics, from basic Catholic teachings to advanced subjects like spiritual warfare, mental prayer, history, philosophy, and current events. It emphasizes engaging multiple senses to enhance learning and spiritual growth.
The channel is run by Steve Cunningham, who also hosts the Resistance Podcast and engages with guests like Timothy Gordon to discuss Catholic life in specific dioceses (e.g., Charlotte). It’s a comprehensive resource for Catholics seeking to deepen their faith or learn more about Church teachings.
The episodes are regularly captured in Digital media collection.
