Vatican rules on baptismal language: CEN 3.01.08 March 1, 2008

| BAPTISMAL liturgies that omit the masculine names of the persons of the Trinity are invalid, the Roman Catholic Church has declared.
In a statement released on Feb 29, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said variations or approximations of the words “Father, Son and Holy Ghost” were impermissible. Persons baptized in the name of the “Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer” were to be treated as being “unbaptized” under Catholic Canon law.
