The Paulist Center:

At times the Mass departs from the Catholic text. During the Nicene Creed, for example, the sections on believing in only "one Lord" ("We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God . . .") and only "one holy Catholic and apostolic Church" are excised from the prayer.

Good lord.

So basically, they're arbitrarily removing one third of the Holy Trinity?

That's rediculous. And frankly, it sounds like a bit of heresy, if you ask me.

Which nobody did, so it's just MHO.

In the liturgy at my wife's Anglican Church in Delray Beach, the Nicene Creed has "...one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church." I feel just as comfortable at the Anglican Church as I do at St. Thomas More.

BTW, my 93-year old aunt is a retired IHM nun in Monroe, MI. Her screen name, if she had one, would be "maryz."

I see. They're not Catholics, any more than Lutherans, Presbyterians, or Methodists are Catholics. They're denying the divinity of Jesus; that makes them Arians.
