Wow, and I hate to say it, that is the Creed line I know. Then in my defense, I am only 20, thus I never had the benefit of knowing the Pre-Vatican II Church.

All you have to know is to open the missalette. The line is "for us men and for our salvation." This is not meant to exclude the fairer sex, this is how the English language works.

One question, isn't "He Descended into Hell" suppossed to be in the Creed, or is that the Nicene Creed of 325? God Bless

That is in the Apostle's Creed, an older, but shorter creed.

I agree completely, however we are being overrun in the desire for inclusive language. This Easter, I coordinated and directed the readers for the Easter Vigil. By the end of it we had God creating human beings in his own image (I wasn't too happy). God Bless.
