What else can I help you with?
Why do we say the Nicene Creed at Mass instead of the Apostles' Creed?
The Nicene Creed is said at Mass because it is a more detailed and comprehensive statement of Christian beliefs compared to the Apostles' Creed. It was formulated by early Christian leaders at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to address specific theological controversies of the time. The Nicene Creed is considered to be a more authoritative and universally accepted statement of faith within the Catholic Church.
What are the different versions of the Apostles' Creed and how do they differ from each other?

Why is the nicene creed different than the apostles creed?
The Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed differ primarily in their theological content and historical context. The Nicene Creed, formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, was developed to address specific heresies, particularly Arianism, and emphasizes the divinity of Christ and the Trinity. In contrast, the Apostles' Creed is an earlier statement of faith that summarizes the apostles' teachings and focuses more on the foundational aspects of Christian belief without addressing specific doctrinal controversies. As a result, the Nicene Creed is more detailed and reflects the theological debates of the early Church.

The Nicene creed is important because it is a creed saying what the Catholic faith believes in.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Nicene Creed that we know today is the second of that name. It is more properly known as the Nicene-Constantinople Creed. It was originally formulated by the Fathers of the Council of Nicaea against Arianism, and was much shorter than the one we know today.
Why was the Apostles' Creed changed?
The Church didn't change the Apostle's Creed to the Nicene Creed, they are separate Creeds. They are used in different manners.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is from the very early Church, the substance of the creed is formulated by the apostles, although they probably are not the authors. Originally it was used as an instruction to be memorized by the catechumens before baptism. The Nicene-Constantinople Creed was first formulated at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, then later added to by the Council of Constantinople in 381. It is the creed that has been prescribed for the liturgy for centuries.The Apostles Creed was formerly recited at Prime each day, is used in the Rosary, and other devotions.
How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
