The Creed is a very basic outline of what we believe. However, if you want a fuller version, I suggest you obtain a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In it are paragraphs describing what we believe with quotes from Sacred Scripture and writings of the early Church Fathers and martyrs such as St. Peter, St. Augustine, etc. We include these for Scripture says "There are also many other things which Jesus Did' were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written" (John 21:25). Therefore, everything not written in The Bible that the Church teaches was handed down by the Apostles through Sacred Tradition.
The Catechism is a lengthy book, I know, however at the end of each section it summarizes what was said in a few sentences. If you read the summaries you can get a good picture of what the Catholic Church believes in a relatively short amount of time. I believe you would learn a great deal about the Catholic faith, and if you think that anything is sketchy you can look at the citations and see where we got it from. You could also ask a local priest about any questions you might have on what is written.
