@Sharon, I believe it's the same, but Catholics have multiple creeds, each highlighting a specific truth of Christianity. For example, we say the Nicene Creed at every mass, which highlights the 'True God, True Man' nature of Christ. there are a couple others, but I say the Apostles Creed everyday, and it is the beginning of the Rosary, which all Catholics are strongly encouraged to pray every day.

@Sharon, no, but we understand the Apostles Creed differently. For example, the “I believe in the Catholic Church” is interpreted differently by Catholics and Protestants. I’m speaking broadly here, but Protestants believe in a spiritual communion among the various churches, regardless of denomination or hierarchical structures. So, the universal church, according to this viewpoint, is made up of all believers, regardless of what denomination they are. Catholics disagree with this. We believe that the Catholic Church subsists within those churches under the authority of the Roman pontiff and the various institutions under him/all the bishops in communion with the Vicar of Christ (the pope). So, the church isn’t just a spiritual, immaterial, body of believers alone, but is also the outer institutions. And just as the identity of a person includes both his/her soul and body, so too with the church.
@Mary, most “high church” Protestants (e.g., Lutherans, Anglicans, etc.) recognize and use the Nicene Creed and Athanasian Creed as well.
Also, Dominicans don’t pray the Apostles Creed before the Rosary 🫢

@Stephen, yeah, I thought so, but I wasn't positive, so I didn't want to give false info, lol
@Mary, I appreciate that :) If you see anything that erroneous in my comments, feel free to correct me lol

Logan and Rory (haven't seen the show, but I love these two, and I am really mad at the show now, lol)
(I am, too lol. I hope it’s not a spoiler for you, but the ending is the worst! Rory should’ve said yes to Logan’s proposal. They were so good together. They complemented each other in many ways. Rory helped him be more disciplined, serious, and commitment to his responsibilities. While Logan helped her be more spontaneous, free, and adventurous. Introverts and extroverts really do complement each other lol).
@Stephen, no, I knew that (and you're very right about the extrovert and introvert. almost all my friends are very introverted, lol). have you watched all of Gilmore Girls?
@Mary, it’s gonna kill my pride to admit it, but yes I have 😅
I still have too much pride, though, to admit what pop songs I like in public haha
