Regarding "catholic"
quote:Yeah, Christians rather than Jews, gnostics, or pagans.
and it was used to refer to a single, visible communion, separate from others.
quote:Big as day faith proclomations like you'd find in The Apostles' Creed. I'm an Apostles' Creed Christian. So are you. That makes us united in the one catholic faith.
from its earliest use, it was meant to convey a specific set of widely-held beliefs
quote:Who adds to the Apostles' Creed? It's not the Protestants.
widely-held beliefs which are much more aligned with those of the RCC than Protestant denominations.

Correct, and one only need read the church fathers to know which flavor of Christianity this is, and it definitely isn't Reformed Protestant or whatever you practice. You can say the reformers were returning the church to what the apostles and early church believed, but the Protestant beliefs are overwhelmingly absent in the church fathers writings.

Again, when Ignatius used the word Catholic, he wasn't referring to the 20,000 Trinitarian denominations that wouldn't exist for another couple thousand years.

Well the Protestant churches and their beliefs pretty much didn't exist when the Apostles Creed was created, so I'm not sure what you mean by adding to it.
