天主教神学

天主教神学（英语：Catholic theology，罗马大公教会神学；明朝天主教称之为天学）是指有关天主教会根据《圣经》和圣传进行传教的神学理论^[1]。教会的信仰体现在《尼西亚信经》、《使徒信经》中，并在《天主教教理》中被详细论述^[2][3]。天主教会的一些理论在历史上几次重要的大公会议中得到修订或澄清^[4]。公元50年，使徒在耶路撒冷召开了第一次大公会议^[5]。而最近的一次大公会议为1965年的第二次梵蒂冈大公会议。

During the third century synodal government became so developed that synods used to meet not merely at times of crisis but on a regular basis every year, normally between Easter and Pentecost."
