e Catechism of the Catholic Church gives the following English translation of the Apostles' Creed:
1. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.2. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.5. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again.6. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.7. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.8. I believe in the Holy Spirit,9. the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,10. the forgiveness of sins,11. the resurrection of the body,12. and life everlasting.Amen.The section in bold is the answer to your question.
It professes the belief of Catholics, which includes that there is a heaven and a hell.
you say it after the magnificant and before the anthem.
No, a lot of other religions say it too
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".
The Prayer recited at Mass that is a summary of our beliefs is the Nicene Creed:http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/
Yes. As a christian denomination, they adhere to the same creeds as the rest of the Christian Church. These include the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed that focusses on the belief in a Trinitarian God.
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 )
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.
In the NICENE Creed which we say after the homily - "I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sinsand I look forward to the resurrectionof the dead and the life of the world to come.".Roman Catholic AnswerPerhaps the most impressive reference to life after death is the consecration itself, when Jesus, who most certainly died on the cross, is not only alive, but becomes present physically.
No one can say, but there is nothing at all like a term life after death.
The Swedish word for apostles is apostlar.
