And had Trump and Melania recited the prayer, the hue and cry would have been “how dare that profane, mean-spirited man pretend to pray in public!”

I attended a wedding several years ago where this creed was mindlessly repeated before the ceremony began. It reflects Biblical ignorance.
We are to refrain from vain repetitions, which for many are simply "empty words" recited without conviction. (Matthew 6:7). Jesus explains this and gives a model prayer for us to use. (Matthew 6:9ff). He doesn't say "pray these words", he says "after this manner pray ye...".
But get this -- people vainly repeat this as well!
It is breathtakingly absurd for the news media to lecture believers on Christian conduct!

I don’t do “summaries” of scripture; I post Scripture.
No man is authorized to summarize scripture, and especially not with contradictions thereof.

I don’t remember ever hearing of it.
I attended a Presbyterian Church up through the teens.
It’s a very good statement.

I attended Baptist, AG, and Evangelical Covenant churches most of my life, and none of them recited the Apostles Creed, though it is found in the back of most hymnals.

In the Episcopal (Anglican) Church, the Apostles creed is generally used in services where Holy Communion is not offered and the Nicene creed when Communion is celebrated, the Nicene being somewhat longer. As far as I know, all orthodox churches include one or the other. Some of the mainstream protestant churches may say the Apostles creed; I don’t know which ones those might be. I don’t know of any evangelical churches that say it.

I dont believe that. No one of any religion/denomination would do that.

To: hsmomx3
Most Protestants (those who cite liturgical words & phrases, that is, I did as a Presbyterian but probably never have as a Baptist as there is nothing liturgical about our services)cite the creed as the word catholic simple means worldwide church of Jesus Christ, not, as is assumed by many folks designating a denomination, i.e. Roman Catholic, Irish Catholic, etc.
Many Orthodox Christian churches also refer to themselves as Catholic, but definitely dont mean Roman Catholic!

I’m a Christian and I wouldn’t recite that if you paid me.
I for one, don’t approve of the catholic church.

Apostles Creed? Wasnt that the guy who fought Rocky in the movies?
That is the only one I know as well. Have to go look this one up. Probably no little striped shorts on this one?

I understand, believe you, and am not surprised.
Printed in hymnal but not reciting. Ok!
In the more “enthusiastic” assemblies, something _worse_ often replaces repetition.
Repetition can be good. You and I can’t tell from the outside who believes and who doesn’t.
I’m glad I learned the Apostle’s Creed in a Methodist church as a kid by weekly (uh, “endless”) repetition.
