“creed” in Latin

Confession of faith, *professio, quid sentias de rebus divinis (any profession of one’s faith): *formula Christiana: lex Christiana (the established law, by which the Christian is to regulate his life, the latter according to Ammian., 2, 5, 10): fides (in a subjective sense; ☞ Verg., Aen., 4, 12): doctrina: formula: lex (in an objective sense, profession, law): ☞ It is obvious, that such an attributive as Christi, or Christianus (a, um) or Christianorum (and thus in a similar manner Mahumedi, etc., as the case may be), ought to be added, unless it is sufficiently implied by the context. To desert or apostatize from the creed of one’s fathers, sacra patria deserere: to change one’s creed, *mutare sacrorum formulam: article of the creed, *caput doctrinae sacrae [☞ caput or articulus fidei is barbarous]. [Vid: RELIGION.]

In a narrower sense; *professio, quid sentias de aliqua re (e.g., de republica, one’s political creed): a philosophical creed, ratio: disciplina: auctoritas or alicujus disciplinae auctoritas (as laid down by the founders, and deriving importance from their authority): dogmata: praecepta or (post-Augustan) placita; scita (all nouns plur. with genitive of the philosopher’s name, or of a school): to change one’s creed, animi judicium mutare: to adopt anybody’s creed, alicujus rationem auctoritatemque suscipere (Cic., Acad., 1, 9, 34): to explain the philosophical creed of the Peripatetics, explicare Peripateticorum auctoritatem (Ac., 1, 9, 34). I incline rather to their creed who, etc., eorum magis sum sententiae, qui, etc. Vid: OPINION.
