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.

The " catholic " in the creed has a lower case C..... therefore this is the universal church, not the actual Catholic Church. So catholic = Universal Church Catholic = The Catholic Church ( The one with the Pope )
Is Roman Catholic Church located at east or west?
Roman Catholic AnswerBoth, actually. the Church, properly speaking, is "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic". That is how it is described in the Creed. The "Catholic" part is just an adjective which means universal, and the "Roman" part is used as an adjective to say that it's head, Christ's vicar on earth is in Rome. So saying Roman Catholic Church would be the same as saying: "Christ's Universal Church who's vicar is in Rome".Roman Catholic AnswerBoth, actually. the Church, properly speaking, is "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic".

What does it mean to say the Church subsists in the Catholic Church?
It means that the 4 marks of the Church as spelled out in the Nicene Creed - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic - are found only in the Catholic Church. Other sects may have one, two or three of these marks but only the Catholic Church possesses all four.
Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.

Are Roman Catholics Christians?
Yes, of course they are.They would say they are the unchanged, original Christian church which all others have moved away from..AnswerFirst of all, it's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Secondly, Catholics are the only Christians, Christians who do not belong to the visible Catholic Church are Christian insofar as they are validly baptized, and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. The Catholic Church is the Christian Church that was established by Our Blessed Lord on the Apostle Peter (see St. Matthew's Gospel, chapter 16: 17-19), then the Church was born from the blood and water that flowed from His Side as He hung dead on the cross and was pierced by the soldier. Later it was shown to the world at Pentecost with the descent of the Holy Spirit. Our Blessed Lord promised to be with St. Peter and his successors and guaranteed that the gate of Hell would not prevail against them, and that His Church would survive until the end of the world. People who deny the Catholic Church are basically calling Our Blessed Lord a liar who was unable to fulfill His Promises. Protestants are Christians insofar as they are validly baptized and believe in the Nicene Creed, they are actually members of Christ's Catholic Church, although invisibly and in a hampered manner. Protestants who are not baptized validly and do not believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation are misusing the word "Christian".
Why do Lutherns say the Apostles Creed when they are Protestant?
Lutherans though not Catholic are still Christian. Though the Lutheran Church is not in communion with the Catholic Church, they continue to believe the central doctrines of the Christian Faith. The Apostle's Creed is a summary, or statements in "creedal" form of the basic tennents of the Christian Faith.
What church do people in Greece go to?
I think you are looking for the "Eastern Orthodox" church. It may be described very very roughly as a Catholic, Apostolic church that does not feel the need for the same hierarchical structure as say the "Roman Catholic" church.
