Why is the Nicene Creed sometimes translated using 'We Believe's and other times with 'I believe's?

The Apostle's Creed starts with "I believe" and the Nicene Creed with "We believe". After Vatican II, we recited the Nicene Creed using "we" since our faith is a community relation to God rather than a personal one. We are a community of believers.
I believe that the "I believe" will be reverted to in the new translation next year.

Why is the nicene creed a key teaching in the catholic church?
The purpose of creeds in any religion is to help define what a person or group believes. The problem with them is that if they are taken the wrong way, they can distance you from Goid rather than getting you closer to him. Case in point are the Pharisees and religious leaders of Jesus' day. When questions or challenges come up against the Bible or doctrine, then creeds can help define what you believe. For instance, The Apostles Creed.
Is a Catholic school a Christian school?
Technically, yes. But some people believe that Roman Catholicism and Christianity are not the same.Catholic AnswerYes, of course a Catholic school is a Christian school. The only one who might be confused about this is a person who is using the word "Christian" to mean a protestant or other non-Catholic. Christian can be used about a person who is validly baptized and believes in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation, but many non-Catholics use the word "Christian" to mean just about everybody, or anybody that believes in God and His Son. Following that use of the word, then no, they would be referring to something else.
