Here’s the one I know -

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Translations can vary just like translation of any word/document.

However, if it is going to be used in the Mass, especially for Masses with chlidren, the text has to have the necessary regocitio from the Holy See. This prevents any watering down and should render the text faithful to the Latin original (as appears in the GIRM) according to Liturgicam Authenticam, the Vatican’s official document on translation for the liturgy.

Agreed, but I only mentioned it because he states that he has seen different variations. I didn’t feel the need to go into details about where the translation came from, but I see your point.

Instead of a couple different versions of the Apostle’s Creed, maybe you are thinking of the Nicene Creed also. This was written later than the Apostle’s Creed and is longer and more detailed because there were additional misunderstandings and heresies to be combatted at the time, needing a Creed with more depth and detail of the Faith.

Slightly off topic but I was randomly researching the text of the Nicene Creed as recited at my parish and the wording resembles the one from the Episcopal '79 Book of Common Prayer…but it comes out of the Missal book.

Also noticed that, at the part where you say “…He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man,” a lot of people in my parish replace ‘became man’ with ‘became one of us.’

I wonder if other parishes do that…

I’ve never heard it done that way. Hmm…I’ll be interested to hear other’s take on that one.

I regard the version in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults as the official one that should be used:

“I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
(From The Rites, Volume One, 1990, Liturgical Press, page 120.)

This version is in a liturgical book, so it is approved for the liturgy. The version in the Catechism is more recent, but it does not have approval for use in the liturgy. I expect a new translation when from the 2002 Roman Missal, but this does not yet have approval.
