Doctrinal statement

A doctrinal statement is a statement of doctrine made by a church or other religious institution which quantifies precisely its core beliefs on certain issues. It is common for doctrinal statements to include positions on lectionary and translations of the Bible, particularly in evangelical churches, some of which accept only the King James Version.

In the Roman Catholic Church, a doctrinal statement can be made by the Pope himself, usually with the help of the Holy Office, a statement which then becomes part of the Magisterium of the Church. The Magisterium can be Ordinary and Extraordinary, depending on the degree of solemnity of the statements.
