In the Creed, the word catholic is not capitalized. It does not refer, in this instance, to the Roman church (which is what Catholic means), but to a broad and universal christian church (which is what “catholic” means).

IIRC, we used to say “the Holy Christian Church, rather than the “catholic church”. But, someone changed it.

Lutheran here.
