Is the Nicene Creed a Roman Catholic creed?
No. The church fathers in the Council of Nicaea, long before there was any division of Protestants and Roman Catholics, or even Eastern Orthodox believers, penned this creed to define orthodoxy and weed out heresy. The reference to the “catholic” church refers to Christendom, or “the church of all believers”, regardless of where each individual may attend. It is from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning “universal”. Vector adopted the Nicene Creed as its statement of faith because it is a centuries-standing definition of orthodoxy that has stood the test of time. By choosing the creed most widely used worldwide (and by multiple sects of Christianity), Vector has adopted a theologically sound and unifying statement. Essentially, that the God of the universe, three in one, sent His son to atone for our sins, speaks through the Scriptures, and will one day bring the church hood of all believers into His world to come.
