And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son...

What you posted is an adulterated Nicene Creed. The Nicene-Constantinopolean Creed never had "and the Son."

I am not sure why the Latin Church has so many Creeds. The Church agreed to one Creed, acclaimed at an Ecumenical Council, believed infallible and guided by the Holy Spirit. Is that not enough for some individuals in your Church? Or is making an imprint of one's own ego so important as to try to embellish something considered infallible?

Well thanks for asking...

10. I acknowledge the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church for the mother and mistress of all churches; and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Rome,

1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

As you can see, we are warned against following Peter, or any of his supposed apostolic heirs...

And of course everyone knows Peter would never let a man bow down to him, to pay him reverence...

That should throw up very large 'danger' signs to you guys that follow and are obedient to a pope...Especially one who claims to be a descendant of one of the apostles...

3. I also profess that there are truly and properly seven Sacraments of the New Law, instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind, though not all for every one;

Sorry...Jesus became the ONE sacrifice FOR US so we don't need sacraments...We can do nothing...Jesus did it all...

5. I profess, likewise, that in the Mass there is offered to God a true, proper, and propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead;

God never asked you for a sacrifice...In fact, a sacrifice by Catholics or anyone would be an abomination to God...The only sacrifice God wants is a sacrifice of thanksgiving...Be thankful for what He has done...

God already provided the 'Sacrifice', His only Son...What can you do to top that??? You going to offer His Son again??? Or continually offer His Son???

You can't offer the Son of God to God for a sacrifice...God already offered His Son for a sacrifice for YOU...

And they that have done good shall go into life eternal, and they who indeed have done evil into eternal fire.

Apparently that depends on what the definition of what evil is, eh, or what is, is...

You can claim you can sin every day, all day long but your sins aren't bad sins...

That IS a sin...It's the sin of willful delusion...

This true Catholic faith, without which no one can be saved,

And there's the biggest delusion of all...More than half of your church voted in a pro child killer as president...This is God's church??? Not the one I read about in the scripture...
