Why at Church when they say the Apostles Creed do they leave out the line that he descended into hell?

At church we recite the NICENE creed which does not contain this reference. However, when we do recite the APOSTLES creed the current translation is he "descended to the dead". This is intended to note that Jesus came to save all with his victory over death, and in particular to those who died before his victory. In the revised Roman missal in Advent of 2011, this will be changed back to "he descended into hell".

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.

How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?

They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.


What references to the life after death are there in the prayers of the Mass?
