Dogma
Dogma (Gk., ‘opinion’). Originally a good or acceptable opinion of philosophers, it became also a decree of a public or political authority; in that latter sense it is found in both Septuagint and New Testament. In Christian history (attaining among Roman Catholics a formal definition at the First Vatican Council) it is a truth revealed by God and presented to the Church for belief, either through a council or a pope or the episcopacy.
