Truth isn’t funny to anyone.

Called the sensus fidelium, the supernatural appreciation of the faith. Evidently, the faithful possess an instinctive sensitivity and discrimination in matters of faith. -Christopher O'Donnell, O.Carm., translator's note, Austin Flannery editor, Vatican Council II: The Concilar and Post Conciliar Documents, Study Edition (Northport, NY: Costello Publishing Co., 2986), page 363.

What the faithful hold in common to be the true Catholic faith, they (the faithful) are infallible and cannot err in matters of belief. - Second Vatican Council, "Dogmatic Constitution on the Church," no. 12.
