When were Catholic doctrines developed?

[Hoonbaba]

Hi everyone,

Here's a simple question:

When were Catholic doctrines developed?

Is there some website that has some sort of chart that explains the development of doctrines like the trinity, original sin, etc?

thanks and God bless!

P.S.  Original sin was developed before Mary's immaculate conception, correct?  (I thought I read that somewhere but I don't fully remember).  It would seem logical to make that statement since immaculate conception involves original sin =P

I'll let you in on a big secret: It's not as long ago as the Catholics always say.

In fact, I have it on the highest authority that every Catholic doctrine was invented *last Tuesday*, in an attempt to suppress good Bible-believing Christians.

Anyone know when the trinity was declared doctrine?

And what about original sin?

Not sure Hoon...however make sure you realize that DECLARATION of some idea does not equate to the forming of the idea.

HI hoonbaba,

I believe the doctrine of the trinity was officially formulated at the council of Nicea in response to the arian heresy. The Nicean creed was the result. Not sure of the exact date...350? 

Hope that helped.

Peace and Love!

Different doctrines at different times. No such thing as a simple question. www.catholic.com probably has some good information for you. God bless

The Trinity as dogma was defined at the Councils of Nicea (325 A.D.-- which dealt with Jesus' divinity and consubstantiality with the Father) and Constantinople (381 A.D.) which dealt with unity and procession of the Holy Spirit.

I believe Original Sin was defined formally at the Second Council of Orange (529 A.D.), otherwise a 'local' council given dogmatic effect by having been ratified by Pope Boniface II.
