Our former pastor occasionally skipped it if he had a Mass he knew was going to run long, but that was extremely rare. He also politically corrected it by skipping the men in "for us men..." The current pastoral staff (we have 4 priests at the moment for two parishes) not only says the whole creed properly, with the congregation saying it along with them, but also bow at the place in the creed where they are supposed to bow (was conceived of the Holy Spirit and became man), however, very, very, very few parishoners do the bow.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127202199834183627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-40365579897440369502010-08-09T00:36:31.540-04:002010-08-09T00:36:31.540-04:00Ours does.

The outside was actually kinda cool cause it was built into a hill, but inside.. It reminded me a lot of protestant churches... not too surprising since SJN is known for the number of converts lol.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877510817457439788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-64287181014240557362010-08-08T22:41:05.581-04:002010-08-08T22:41:05.581-04:00Weird.Weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-83267255299114945002010-08-08T22:10:24.387-04:002010-08-08T22:10:24.387-04:00Most people say it aloud in our parish, including ...Most people say it aloud in our parish, including the priest who wears a microphone (to lead us).<br /><br />We usually sit toward the back in case Hubby needs to duck out with Bean, and we can hear pretty much everyone reciting the Profession of Faith.<br /><br />Were people spread out? Perhaps the largeness of the cathedral made you more aware of your own voices rather than hearing others who were a bit away from you.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268407996242055175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-90220403256556883402010-08-08T21:30:12.490-04:002010-08-08T21:30:12.490-04:00My experience may be different because the only Ca...My experience may be different because the only Catholic church I ever attended was built after Vatican II and does not have a crucifixion over the altar (to the surprise of my husband who grew up in New Mexico). I'm used to everyone saying the Creed, but on the singing it's about 50/50. <br /><br />I love to sing, so I'd sing along every time.Catherinehttp://protecteveryone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-8899198860289349962010-08-08T20:15:37.665-04:002010-08-08T20:15:37.665-04:00How odd about the Creed!

In any parish I've been to (and we've been to plenty, all over) the people always join in, with one or two holdouts, perhaps.<br /><br />We've not yet visited the Cathedral in San Francisco, but did go to Mass at the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland with our daughter and son-in-law. Though I've heard it described as a giant womb (and other, less genteel anatomical references) to me, it resembles a giant crystal wastebasket from the outside; lovely, but definitely unusual. The interior has lots of lovely wood and is, indeed, full of light, but the huge Jesus (digital? some kind of mesh? I don't know) was disconcerting.<br /><br />Bishop Cordileone said Mass and greeted people outside; there were clearly bodyguard-types nearby, which raised all kinds of questions in my mind (threats?) He seemed to be a kindly, pleasant man. (I love that there are health and legal clinics for the poor and uninsured. Way to go, Oakland diocese!)dixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-90508814045243834902010-08-08T19:53:52.948-04:002010-08-08T19:53:52.948-04:00I thought it was to be said allowed as a public pr...I thought it was to be said allowed as a public profession of faith.

But the inside is definitely better than the exterior.<br /><br />I will say that at all of the Parishes I have attended Mass at (and I'd say I've been visiting to probably over 20 different Parishes during my 4 years as Catholic) it is not silent during the Creed. I know in general there are some people who choose not to participate in the Mass (which I don't understand) but most of the time the majority is participating. Now singing? That's a different story, and one that annoys me.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037863893536646602noreply@blogger.com
