Dear Sparkie,
Msgr. Peter Elliott's "Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite"
is an authentic and balanced presentation of Catholic
liturgical regulations and practices. Monsignor Elliott
writes:
"# 544. The Creed is omitted (in a Sunday Mass when infants
are baptized within the Mass) because the Profession of
Faith before the Baptism takes its place.
# 551. (In a confirmation Mass celebrated by the bishop)
the Creed is omitted because the Profession of Baptismal
Faith takes its place.
# 265. The Creed...is to be said on all Sundays and
solemnities, and ... may be said on other occasions when
it seems appropriate (see General Instruction of the Roman
Missal, #44).
N.B. The instruction "Eucharisticum Mysterium", no 45, says:
"In the celebration of the Eucharist above all, no one, not
even a priest may on his own authority add, omit, or change
anything in the Liturgy."
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Mateo
- Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit -
