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?

The Apostles’ Creed says, “He descended into hell”

Watch for the Ecumenical Series I will post on the Apostles’ Creed starting tomorrow.

That is in the Apostles Creed used in the Catholic Missal.

I have also sen it written as “descended to the dead”.
