One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic bump....

When we do the Prayer of the Faithful in Mass, I skip that line.

And the woman behind me changes the word "Father" to "Creator." I wonder what the Creed would look like (We believe...) if we all deleted portions that we didn't like? Maybe something like the Protestant churches.

Actually "we believe" is a mistranslation of credo ("I believe"), which is corrected in the new translation.

But, yes, we are all supposed to believe the same thing.

“We believe” itself is an error. It is Credo, I believe.

Actually, you could drop in at the Paulist Center (John Kerry's home "parish") -- I understand they tailor bits of the Mass, including the Creed, to suit their inclinations.
