		According to Prosper of Aquitaine, legem credendi lex statuat supplicandi, which is to say, "the law of prayer determines the law of belief' (Prosper used the equivalent term lex supplicandi in place of lex orandi).

		It is highly doubtful that Prosper of Aquitaine's adage has ever meant simply that, except to those who have taken it up as a bludgeon with which to defend the liturgy's pride of place as a source for theological reflection.
