You missed "...the Holy Catholic Church...", that IS part of the Creed. As a Catholic, I kind of hate to bring this up, but in every version of the Creed I've read, it says holy catholic church, not capitalizing catholic, and thus, to me, meaning the universal church (ie. all Christians) and not the Roman Catholic Church. That's what I've always thought, anyhow. I'm likely wrong, but it seems to me that they should capitalize Catholic if they were using it in some form other than universal.

I think you are right...catholic DOES mean Universal in the Creed, HOWEVER not ALL Christians, as a matter of fact ONLY Catholics believe that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, which is also part of The Creed.

What other form is there than 'universal'? That is the clear meaning. There is ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH, right?+
