    Is it permissible to use the renewal of promises instead of the creed?

    Fr. McNamara addressed this question in his Zenit column a few years ago:

    Note that the piece was written in 2006, before the third edition of the Roman Missal took effect in this country; so it is theoretically possible that some rules may have been modified since that year. (I'm not aware of any change relevant to your question.)

    Generally speaking, no. During the Easter Vigil, the renewal of baptismal promises takes the place of the Creed (Roman Missal, 58). In the USA, during Easter Sunday Masses which are celebrated with a congregation, the rite of renewal of baptismal promises may take place after the Homily, according to the text used at the Easter Vigil. In that case the Creed is omitted (Roman Missal, 72). Also, in the ritual Mass for the conferral of Baptism the Penitential Act, the Kyrie and the Creed are omitted. The Creed is also omitted in the ritual Mass for the conferral of Confirmation. The Creed is said when the Scrutinies are celebrated.

    We had a priest decide to do it today, so.... that's what I thought.
