Trump is a Protestant. I thought that the Apostles Creed was a Catholic prayer because it says “I believe in One Holy Catholic Church.”
Only Catholics and Eastern Orthodox say this prayer as far as I know.
Many protestant churches recite it too.
“I thought that the Apostles Creed was a Catholic prayer...”
Small-c “catholic.”
The catholic Church is the universal Church of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
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).
Some protestant churches recite it using small ‘c’ instead of capital ‘C’ in Catholic.
Or, they might sub the word ‘universal’.
“I thought that the Apostles Creed was a Catholic prayer”
I guess they have different versions.
From Wikipedia:
“It is widely used by a number of Christian denominations for both liturgical and catechetical purposes, most visibly by liturgical Churches of Western tradition, including the Catholic Church, Lutheranism and Anglicanism. It is also used by Presbyterians, Methodists and Congregationalists.”
The Apostle's Creed that's said in the Catholic Church actually says “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church...” The word "catholic" isn't capitalized because it's supposed to mean all of Christianity, not just the Catholic Church.

Pay attention to the capitalization:
The Apostles' Creed
I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
You have it confused with the Nicene Creed.
I wouldn’t know it.
IIRC, the Roman Catholic Church’s version says “... One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”
.
The “Apostles Creed” was never spoken by any apostle.
It is a collection of non-scriptural declarations that the lost use in place of “Halelu Yah.”
The Apostles’ Creed is a Western creed—Roman Catholic and Protestant.
The Orthodox Church uses only the Nicene Creed-not the Apostles’ Creed. So we don’t recite the Apostles’ Creed either!!!!
Some old conservative Lutherans changed the “One Holy catholic Church” to “Christian Church”. But I don’t know if any still do.
George HW Bush’s parish in Texas is an anomaly—a conservative evangelical parish that remains in the wacko ultra-liberal Episcopal “Church”. And the National Cathedral totally goes along with the EC’s apostasies! But I don’t know if that has anything to do with President Trump’s behavior in that service yesterday. Probably not.
Catholic, in the Creed, means ‘Universal’
I’m a Christian and I wouldn’t recite that if you paid me.
I for one, don’t approve of the catholic church.
In the creed that’s catholic with a small c, as in all-embracing
Not the Catholic Church
Your catechist didn’t teach you well
Pretty much every church I’ve seen has some form of it.
