In odium fidei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frontispiece of a text on the life of Wojciech Męciński (1598–1643), which includes the extended phrase "in odium Sanctae Fidei Catholicae" (in hatred of the holy Catholic faith)

In odium fidei is a Latin phrase which translates to "In hatred of the faith."[1]

The term is used in the Roman Catholic Church as a cause for beatification[2] when one of its followers, whether part of the clergy or laity, was killed for their religion.
