Its words are memorised by Christian children all over the world and repeated at almost every act of Christian worship: “Our Father, who art in heaven … ”
Now Pope Francis has risked the wrath of traditionalists by approving a change to the wording of the Lord’s Prayer. Instead of saying “lead us not into temptation”, it will say “do not let us fall into temptation”.

I’m not in the least religious, but this Frank guy is truly a communist jerkoff.
Jesus Christ Himself gave us this prayer.
But the Nope Pope knows better than Jesus.
‘Pope Wanker the first’.
Whatever... King James was hardly around when Christ recited the prayer.
Insanity at best. Malicious at worst.
Yeh sure....I’m going to remember that after 70 years of the REAL Our Father.
1 Corinthians 10:13
“...God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
The popester can change the prayer all he wants, but it does not change Protestant or Orthodox Lord’s prayers.
What’s the point of changing this?
Control.
The actual words of Jesus is much closer to “Lead us not into temptation”, but the Pope has concluded that Jesus made a mistake, and no one will understand what he really meant. But as I’ve said, it would take a supreme idiot to think it means that God tempts people like the devil does.
This is a better translation to English. The Lord will never lead us in to temptation.
James 1:13 ESV /
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
I think it is for clarity. The Lord does NOT really lead us into temptation, and although more difficult to remember for us old people the new way makes sense. Christ’s meaning may have been lost in the original translation.
The Pope has no right to change scripture.
The original Lord's prayer was probably uttered in Aramaic, not English.
Any Biblical scholars out there who can tell us what the correct translation from the original might be into English?
God created all things, including angels and Lucifer, the angels’ jealous, fallen leader. So, they’re effectively His, too. This Pope says Lucifer leads to temptation, well, that relates to He that created Lucifer. No?
This is the camel’s nose in the tent. He/they get away rewriting this core Christian thing...watch out!
“The original Lord’s prayer was probably uttered in Aramaic, not English. “
And there is no record of the Aramaic version.
Nor Catholic either.
The Catholic Bible has its own version of the Ten Commandments as well. Seriously, the Catholic Church actually put themselves above God and changed His law that He wrote on stone thus is meant to stand forever.
I’ll say it my way.
