	Cardinal John Henry Newman and the development of doctrine
		John Henry Newman constructed a distinctive methodology and coined a novel epistemological expression, the "illative sense" to convey his resolution of the philosophical problem of bridging the gap between probability and certainty.
		He suggests that with respect to religious faith, the simple and the unlettered have the advantage over the mere intellectual, if the latter does not qualify his explicit reasonings with the right moral disposition and with the realisation that faith involves the whole individual and is never a matter of logic alone.
		Invoking the principle of doctrinal development, especially with an appeal to a philosopher theologian of the stature of John Henry Newman, in order to substantiate challenges to the Church’s common understanding of itself, is limited to the very precision of the illative sense espoused by Newman and his conceptual framework for the nature of development.

		Elsewhere (see JOHN HENRY NEWMAN) is related the story of those earlier years in which, from various sources, the future Tractarian leader gained his knowledge of certain Catholic truths, one by one.
