Is it so hard to accept maybe you didn't notice it?
Every time I have been in a Roman Catholic Church, they have actually recited it. So my experience of the Catholic Church is that it is there and used.

Err Hugh, firstly I have to ask you: please remember that you're not on the-forum-that-shall-not-be-named here... you're among nice people!
Relax, mate, you sound so fierce and defensive. Multiple friends of yours have said so, you don't need to feel like it's a battle or something. Really mate
But that said, I think you're totally right in this case, sorry NightStalker, that the line you two are fighting about is not so controversial at all.
I'm not at all versed in the ways of the Catholic Church but I am versed in classical music.
I've recently sung Mozart's Coronation Mass and visited a performance of Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle. Both feature a Credo, in Latin of course, but they both distinctly carry the line
"
et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam
confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum"
