Packet 5: Tossup 3

According to tradition, Christian multitudes across the centuries performed this practice in the dream of Pontius Pilate’s wife. The Third Council of Toledo modified the form of this practice to combat Visigothic heresy. In the Latin Rite, the faithful customarily bow their head when this practice references the Virgin Mary. In the Mass, this practice occurs directly after the Homily, (-5[1])before the (*) Prayer of the Faithful. Performers of this practice affirm (-5[1])the Church’s Four Marks of being one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Many Eastern theologians criticize the Latin Church (10[1])for adding the clause “and the Son” into this practice, (-5[1])which begins by declaring, “I believe in one God.” For 10 points, identify this action in which the congregation recites a statement of faith composed by a namesake ecumenical council. ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: reciting the Nicene creed [or Credo or reciting the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed; accept synonyms for “reciting” like saying or reading; accept reciting the Apostles’ creed; prompt on condemning Pontius Pilate]
