We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thereafter, He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic* Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.

* Catholic

​

The word catholic does not relate to any religious organisation as it is derived, from the Greek adjective meaning "universal" & from the Greek a phrase meaning "on the whole", 

 

​Consequently
"the meaning of catholic in this context means

"according to the whole" or "in general"
