I grew up Catholic as well, but I also understand that the term catholic in the Apostle's Creed is the lower case catholic meaning universal church of believers. That is all. Saying catholic is not professing a domination, but a belief that we are all one.

"For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit." – 1 Cor 12:12-13

Hard core, Adam, hard core! Although I stated this in worship services growing up, it came to mean the most to me much later during grown-up difficult times. On those days, I declare this affirmation of the faith while visualizing putting on the armor of God, as described in Eph 6:10-18. May sound weird, but it has become my spiritual "pledge of allegiance". Sort of like when our military enlists, they swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States…well, this is how I swear my allegiance to my King…

Love this. I grew up Catholic, and I'm thankful for it. I gladly repeat all of this creed except the "I believe in the holy Catholic church" part or the "one holy Catholic and Apostolic church". Instead I just say "I believe in one holy Christian church". Because God isn't into denominations.

Man. I have to say it: That's Amazing…
I mean, I really believe that God's not into religion, but He's into the heart of men.
