13. It is permissible to omit the Creed on a Sunday or solemnity if the priest chooses to do so.

Several Times during Saturday vigil Mass instead of the Creed we have had people renewing their wedding vows. Each time the priest (same one -- he says he loves weddings) explains that this is licit because it is a sacrament. I am confused, is he mistaken or am I not reading the question correctly?

He is MISTAKEN. They can renew their vows all they want but like Baptism, Holy Matrimony can only happen one time with one spouse.

I have a similar question about that too. During our Saturday Vigil Mass, it is common to have baptisms in the Mass itself (instead of a separate practice).

Is this bad?

If it's not, I guess it's still bad that we substitute the Creed for the Baptismal promises, since the answer to that question above (about omitting the Creed) seems pretty absolute.

Anyone know?

Is there a renewal of baptismal promises, which the congregation is asked to participate?
