My understanding is that the word “catholic” in the Apostle’s Creed is rarely capitalized in English-speaking churches today and that it means of, relating to, or forming the church universal, the ancient undivided Christian church, or a church claiming historical continuity from the ancient Christian church. It is not intended to refer specifically to the Roman Catholic Church.

Thank you for that update. I read the meaning you provided. Does that mean that all religions should be more universal than we actually are? The ancient undivided Christian church? Should we be more united? i think overall all Christian religions believe in the good morals but just have differences in some areas. However, some religions are taking a moderate look at homosexuality which the Catholic Church will never do IMHO. I guess bottom line is that it is a difficult situation to change your religion. I could not imagine not being Catholic but I know some people find other Christian religions to be more social than the Catholic Church.
