And the same authority of the "sensus fidelium" --- "big-T Tradition," the actual practice of the actual churches of Asia, Africa and Europe--- which gave us the Canon of Scripture, gave us also the Sacraments, praying for the dead, praying with the Saints in Heaven, veneration for Beata Maria Semper Virgineand other beliefs and practices still carried on by over a billion Christians to the present day.

Your logic, once again, is fallacious, as simply because the NT became correctly established - as testified to by its enduring near universal acceptance - does not support the premise that all else that is attributed to tradition - as magisterially defined by Rome - is correct. If so then we must concur with all Jewish tradition that was held by those who sat in the seat of Moses. Such traditions of Rome as you list are invalid like as so many Jewish ones are.

Moreover, "the sense of the faithful" for Rome can mean making a binding belief out of something that is so critically lacking evidence that it was an early belief of tradition that her own scholars opposed it as being apostolic tradition, but which presumption, over 1700 years after the alleged even occurred, is justified under the premise that Rome can remember what history "forgot" to record and preserve.

Thus once again, your attempts to promote Rome are an argument against her. Repent.

...the actual practice of the actual churches of Asia, Africa and Europe---

Those seven mentioned by John?

Those CATHOLIC ones??
