Deposit of faith

The deposit of faith (Latin: depositum fidei or fidei depositum) is the body of revealed truth in the scriptures and sacred tradition proposed by the Roman Catholic Church for the belief of the faithful. The phrase has a similar use in the U.S. Episcopal Church for their own belief.

For the apostolic constitution of John Paul II, see Fidei depositum.
