It sure does seem <font face="Impact">catholic</font> to use creeds and confessions. Whether Presbyterian with the WCF, Reformed with the Three forms of Unity, or Lutheran with the Augsburg Confession/Solid Declaration or Anglican with the 39 Articles - these are churches that would view themselves as catholic, as universal.

These are churches that appreciate and understand the unity of a Christian in 2005AD with a Christian in 1005AD due to the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian creed.

These are churches that, to varying degrees, hold tradition in high esteem understanding it to be a means of teaching, of continuity, and of passing on Biblical truths through practice.

These are churches that understand what it means to preach Christ and Him crucified.

These are churches that understand the point is the dynamic Word of God preached, NOT dynamic people preaching.

These are churches that understand that music is a form of teaching doctrine and the words are the focus, not a means of moving people to "experience" with the focus on the beat and how good I "feel".

So yes, these churches ARE catholic. Praise God for that!
