info re the meaning of the word "catholic"
The Apostles' Creed is less detailed than the [[Nicene Creed]], and may be more acceptable to non-[[Trinity|Trinitarian]] Christians, or even to those who deny the divinity of [[Christ]].
The Apostles' Creed is less detailed than the [[Nicene Creed]], and may be more acceptable to non-[[Trinity|Trinitarian]] Christians, or even to those who deny the divinity of [[Christ]].
The word "catholic" in the Apostles' Creed is from the Latin word ''catholicus'' meaning "universal", from the Greek ''katholicos'', from ''kata-'' thoroughly and ''holos'' whole, in the sense of seeking out and embracing all peoples of all times in all places included under the universal authority of one Lord, one God (see Matthew 28:18-20). It was first used in reference to the Christian Church in writing by [[Ignatius of Antioch]] at the beginning of the 2nd century.
