In the Apostles' Creed Our Lord “descendit ad infernos.” No weaseling around there. But in the missal everybody reads from at Mass He doesn't do that at all.

That's because we don't say the Apostles' Creed at Mass; we say the Nicene Creed, which doesn't include that phrase. ;-)

"That's because we don't say the Apostles' Creed at Mass; we say the Nicene Creed, which doesn't include that phrase. ;-)"

Two things: the Apostles' Creed can supposedly be substituted for the Nicene at "children's masses," and I know a parish that regularly does it at its only English Mass of the week. I think the second case is an abuse, though.

What, you don't stick around for the rosary afterwards?
