Q. Why are the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed different? Monday, August 31

A. Like all Catholic creeds, the Apostles’ and the Nicene provide something of a 8:30 a.m. Pauline & Walter Fedora, req. by Mary-Rose summary of the faith that we profess. Nevertheless, no brief creed can include every single fundamental Christian belief, and specific historical circumstances O’Neill & Gina Petraitis shaped which of the fundamentals were included or emphasized in each creed. Tuesday , September 1

The result is some variation in content, though of course not in doctrine. 8:30 a.m. Joanne Yourous, req. by the Drenen Family Here’s an example of a fundamental tenet of faith that is not expressly stated in either creed: The Nicene notes that Christ “rose again in fulfillment of the Wednesday, September 2 Scriptures,” and that the Holy Spirit “has spoken through the prophets.” But it 8:30 a.m. Maria, req. by a Friend doesn’t contain, nor does the Apostles’ Creed, an explicit statement of the divine Thursday, September 3

inspiration of Scripture. 8:30 a.m. Simone & Osmond Ward-Horner, req. by their Why not? Largely because, in the period when these creeds were developed, there was no serious challenge being raised by heretical factions to the truth that Children Scripture is divinely inspired (though there were of course heretical challenges to ______

the Church’s choice of books to be included in the Bible). Saturday, September 5

On the other hand, the Nicene Creed (technically, the Niceno- Constantinopolitan Creed) had its origins in the Church’s response to an ancient 4:00 p.m. Betty Croteau, req. by Ron & Deb Croteau heretical movement (Arianism), which taught that God the Son was a creature 5:30 p.m. Diana & Timothy Rooney, Sr., 39th Wedding made by God the Father, and thus was not fully equal with Him. That’s why this Anniversary, req. by mother, Roberta Haywood creed emphasizes and elaborates on the full divinity of Jesus Christ: He is “the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Sunday, September 6 Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten, not made, consubstantial 8:00 a.m. Dottie Luvera with the Father; through Him [that is, through God the Son] all things were made.” 10:00 a.m. Parishioners & Visitors ______On the other hand, the Apostles’ Creed, having developed under different historical circumstances, speaks of Him simply as “Jesus Christ, His [God the The Sanctuary candle will burn this week Father’s] only Son, our Lord.” in remembrance of Cecile Babcock, Similarities Between the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds The two creeds have some similarities: req. by Gary & Frances Allen They are both statements of a belief. Both are crafted with the Latin word “creed” which means “I Believe”. Both creeds are used to pray as well as connect with God.

Differences Between the Apostles’ and Nicene Creed Origin: The Apostles’ Creed is referred to as so as it is rightly regarded as a If you would like to donate Altar Flowers, faithful summary of the Apostles’ faith. It is also regarded as the ancient please contact Darillyn Patterson at 413.569.1614. baptismal symbol, and thus, its great authority arises from that fact. On the other hand, the Nicene Creed draws its authority from the reason that it stemmed from the first two ecumenical councils. OFFERTORY FOR WEEKEND History: The Apostles’ Creed is the oldest of the two as it was drawn up and adopted by the early church before the middle of the 2nd century. The Nicene Weekly Collection (includes Masses and Mail-Ins) - $2,383.00 Creed was created in 325 by the Council of Nicaea. Purpose: The Apostles’ Creed has been in use during Baptism while the Nicene Weekly Online Giving - $347.00

Creed is mostly associated with the death of Jesus Christ. As such, it is recited Total Giving for 8/10-8/16/2020 equals $2,730.00 during Lent and Easter times. Wording:: The wording in both creeds differs too. Thank you!!! ♥ The Apostle’s Creed begins with “I Believe” while the Nicene Creed uses “We Believe”. ONLINE GIVING available at www.ollsouthwick.org ♥ The wording “descended into hell” is recited in the Apostles’ Creed but is absent in the Nicene Creed. ♥ Language: The Apostles’ Creed has an origins in the Greek language although the earliest manuscripts are in Latin while the Nicene Creed was produced in Greek.

Summary of Apostles’ Creed Vs. Nicene Creed Even though the two creeds have variances, they roughly serve the same purposes. They are widely accepted as statements professing a belief by Christians. The main purpose as to why they were both developed was to address different problems which brings about the different wording. TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 30, 2020
