As political spin, the "Old Roman Creed" was given the name of ---

"The Apostles' Creed".

To hammer the Gnostic's, a MYTH was generated that the Apostles,
on the day of Pentecost, while still under the direct inspiration
of the Holy Spirit composed the creed with each of the Apostles
contributing one of the twelve articles.
