I need to go off now , Rose I just get really confused :blink: thanks for trying to get me to see the funny side of things.... I just want to love and be guided by God, and pass that on to others, my heart tells me that the structures and practices in Catholisism give the greatest of tools, but then it gets muddeled some saying one thing then other stuff... I feel dizzy now
Gerry Ill go back to the link you gave me... nelly

I BELIEVE is how I accapted and I see now it is reverting to the original could it be because some Catholics as evolutionists do not accapt God as creator but that we and the world happened by chance and via evolution and it also used to say the resurrection of the body not the dead but even on this forum as elsewhere some Catholics say how can this be if parts etc are missing etc-the most intriguing bit gets no mention "the life of the world to come"-jimc1

Mrs Newminster is of the view that 'I believe' is better than 'we believe' (She is an ex-Anglican though whether that is relevant I'll leave to you to decide). Apart from the fact that she's not prepared to answer for other people she reckons that 200 shouts of 'I believe in you' sounds louder than one shout of 'we believe in you'.

I can see the opposite argument but I'm inclined to agree with her (it's safest :huh: ). The collective affirmation can easily hide the waverer. "I believe ..." means what it says. "We believe ..." can easily mean "The Church believes ..."
The fact that we are gathered together for worship does not absolve us from the obligation to express our faith. The person next to us in the pew must answer for him/her self.

This promises to be the longest thread ever if the discussion on the first two owrds is anything to go by. I admit that I have no preference one way or the other and to my shame I had never even noticed that there was a difference.

How many versions of the Creed are allowed to be used during the Mass does anyone know? I presume it is just the Nicene and Apostles?
"An adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelty."
"Having a clear faith, according to the credo of the church, is often labelled as fundamentalism."
Pope Benedict XVI
