As a medievalist by trade, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the Catholic church has "modified" quite a few elements of its creed over the past 2,000 years...Please elaborate. Keep in mind that by "the Creed" Catholics refer chiefly to the "symbols" of faith as presented in the apostles Creed and the Nicene- Constantinopolitan Creed. Apart from the filioque controversy (which is more a matter of language and translation than anything else), what "modifications" do you mean?

See my reply to SoothingDave. I misunderstood his exact wording (skimming when I should be reading... missed the capital "C"), but that doesn't change the fact that the practice and teaching of the Faith has altered significantly since its founding...
