Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is a brief statement of fundamental Christian beliefs formerly attributed to the Apostles, without doubt expressive of Apostolic teaching. It is a formulation of the early Church as a baptismal symbol or rule of faith used by people receiving Baptism since the earliest times. The present form dates to 700. As to "why?", well, there was no other "Christian" Church until Martin Luther formed his own in the sixteenth century.

The Church is against divorse, but, I think if you were not married in the catholic church to begin with, it's all right as long as you don't lead him away from his religion.The Church is against divorse, but, I think if you were not married in the catholic church to begin with, it's all right as long as you don't lead him away from his religion.ANSWER:Reality: The Catholic Church would not support such a relationship b/c it could lead to a desire by both parties to marry. Before a divorced non-Catholic woman could marry a single Catholic man (or Catholic man w/annullment), the non-Catholic divorced woman would also need to obtain an annulment through the Catholic Church.If you love this man, get started with the Annulment process; it's slow.
What is the Catholic symbol?
Catholic AnswerIt's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has no "official" symbol, although I would suppose that a Crucifix is universally recognized as one. For instance, in military cemeteries in the United States, protestants have an empty cross on their graves, Jews have a Star of David, and Catholics have a Crucifix.
