Athanasian Creed

GFvonB at Traditio in Radice has posted my favorite Creed of the Church (in both Latin and the Vulgar). In the Traditional Breviaries, this Creed is said following the psalms of Prime on Trinity Sunday. Sadly, it is very much overlooked in these times. I wonder what would happen if your friendly neighborhood Novus Ordo priest were to read this Creed from the pulpit:

  • His head would explode, covering the guitar player(s) in brain matter
  • "Extraordinary" Ministers of the Eucharist would light the pews on fire and storm the pulpit
  • 75% of the parish would immediately seek out the priest after Mass to hear their confessions. They have seen the error of their ways and wish to repent.
You can decide for yourself, based on your own parish experience.
