While no creed or affirmation of faith can express the totality of Christian belief, the Four Marks represent a summary of some of the most important affirmations of the Christian faith. These words were used by Counter-Reformation theologians in their effort to distinguish the Catholic Church under the Bishop of Rome as "the one, true Church of Christ" from those that had emerged from the Protestant Reformation, considered by Catholics to be "false" claimants.
