DID YOU KNOW that when we recite the Apostles’ Creed and say the word catholic, it is not in reference to a particular denomination, but instead it is in reference to one holy universal Church. The word catholic is simply a form of the Greek word [katholikos] which means “of the whole”. So when we say that we “believe in the holy catholic church”, we are confessing that Jesus Christ is the church’s one foundation and that all who trust in him as Savior and Lord are by God’s grace members of this universal (catholic) church.
