"The Creed is not a statement; it is a dogmatic proclamation of what the whole Church believes in, a symbol of Christian faith."

It is, as it has been, the "Σύμβολον τῆς Πίστεως". "If anyone has the oldest original Latin version of the Creed please post it." I'll bet there's no "filioque" in it! :) I do wonder about the "Deum de Deo". Where does it come from? As we can see, its not in the Greek (not that its wrong).

The Nicene Creed to be specific, and it's my understanding that it was Charlemagne who pushed for its inclusion.

Of course there isn't; I did not mean to imply what I posted is the pre-filioque original
