Best Answer

When something is considered holy it is considered sacred or that it is an important place where religious ceremonies/rituals take place. It is a place devoted to or dedicated to the service of God (or any other Higher Power) such as a church would be. So, saying that the church is holy would technically be saying that it is a place dedicated to the worship of God or a Higher Power.

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?

When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.
