I'm not in the SSPX, but the Latin version sounds pretty beautiful too:

CREDO IN unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium, et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt.

Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnatus est de spiritu sancto ex Maria Virgine: et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est.

Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prophetas.

Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.

Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. + Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.

I like the old English version. It seems to translate the Latin a little bit better:

I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascendeth into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, in glory,
to judge both the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped
and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church;
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins;
and I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Your post silently affirms the utter collapse of Western Catholicism by the fraudulent defilers of Sacred Dogma within Western ( Roman Rite ) Catholicism over the last forty plus years.

You were, sadly, compelled to notice to one and to all your disassociation from those holy priests within the Society of Saint Pius X -- less your love of Latin might cast you as supporting their holy calling.

Your caveat, "I'm not in the SSPX....", shamefully exposes the stains of sin heaped upon His Church by those least fit to shepherd the faithful.

Contrarily, they would share the Chair of Peter with Lucifer's evil in Vietnam and China, than pray with men devoted to uplifting and teaching the faithful of writings penned by Peter's successors -- minus the heresy proclaimed of the unholy four.

May Almighty God forgive our trespasses against His Will.

My Post #18 is a classic example of my attempting to engage in communication, while on pneumonia medication. My sincere apologies.
