Does ANYONE who wasn't hauled under threat of an butt-whooping by their mama to church every single Sunday of their youth know the Apostle's Creed by heart?

Presbyterian & southern here. It's burnt into my brain like the Pledge of Allegiance.

Not everybody grew up like that.

The word "catholic" in the Apostle's Creed is spelled with a lower case "c"

It does not mean Pope/Vatican/Rome/Catholic.

It means:

"The word “catholic” means “relating to the church universal” and was the word used in the original version of the Creed. It does not mean the Roman Catholic Church, but the church, the body of Christ, as a universal fellowship."

Of course, there's the Presbyterian Church USA and the Presbyterian Church America.

Haven't dug into the specifics in decades, but like a lot of things in the country during the Civil War, it split.

It operates several chains, including Virginia College, Culinard, EcoTech and Brightwood College…

According to Inside Higher Ed, employees Wednesday morning received an email that stated the Department of Education had added new restrictions on the schools' access to Title IV student aid. By Tuesday night, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools suspended the colleges' accreditation. Because of this, the company couldn’t secure capital needed for operations."
