Check out this thread from earlier today, discussion of the Creed with regard to Mormons. Lots of banter about the meaning of "catholic" in the creed, and other interesting aspects.

Titled "Abominable Creed".

This should be required memorizing by all Christians.

Nicene, Apostles, and Athanasian Creeds also said
in the Lutheran Church

We used the Nicene Creed in the Lutheran Church. I had that memorized, and the Apostles Creed.

We had an entire chanted-sung liturgy that we memorized. I can still do the Pastor’s part, even though I’ve been out of the Lutheran church for over 30 years.

It is also called the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, after its origin in the first two Church ecumenical Councils in 325 and 381.

Except I notice that the filioque is in this version. "And the Son" was added much later than 381.

Interesting. I grew up with the Anglican Nicene creed, which I had thought was identical to the Catholic creed. In our version, before "on the third day", there was an additional sentence. It went:

"He was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day, he rose again according to the scriptures . . . "

Note the additional sentence. Was that in the Catholic creed once or was that an Anglican addition? If it was in the Catholic creed, why was it deleted? Have the anglicans deleted it too in a burst of modern-happytime-Christianity?

Unfortunately the Filioque controversy wasn't very helpful for the Church.
