Catholics have been saying the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist for over 1,000 years--in part to simply profess our faith together, and in part, Johnson says, to provide a rule of faith (how we should read our scripture and identify ourselves as Christians); to provide a definition of faith (marking the boundaries of Christian belief and community); and to provide a symbol of faith (a recognizable sign and an affirmation of the shared Christian story).
