Featured Term (selected at random):
The Lord's Prayer, taught by Christ in answer to a request by the Disciples to teach them how to pray. As recited in the Catholic Church, it says: "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; they kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen." It consists of seven petitions, of which the first three are concerned with the interests of God, and the last four are requests for divine assistance to man. The single most commented on words of the Bible, the Our Father, is also the common heritage of all Christians, which synthesizes their common belief in the Fatherhood of God, the primacy of the divine over the human, the need for prayer to obtain grace, the source of morality in doing the will of God, and the struggle with evil as a condition for salvation. The longer ending, with the words "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory," used by Protestants, is a liturgical addition that found its way into some manuscripts of the New Testament but was not part of the original biblical text, either in Matthew (6:9-13 or Luke (11:2-4).

In fact, it is also said during the Catholic Mass, so it is not exclusively Protestant.
I keep forgetting to add this in the ping!
Do you think it will be removed? I do, since the liturgical textx are going back to stricter and more Biblical textx.
May not happen in our lifetime, but I do believe it will happen.
There are a few acclamations used throughout the Novus Ordo Mass that are not scripture quotes, yet they reflect correct theology. This is one, “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again” is another. I don’t have a problem with either.
In fact, one change in Our Father I would like to see is “deliver us from the Evil One” rather than “from evil”. The definite article is in the Greek original; since Latin does not have articles, the Latin translation is “libera nos a malo” (”a” here is not an article, it means “from”). Well, in English we have articles just like in Greek, so why not translate it with the definite article?
**“Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again”**
Oh, you have hit on a sore spot with me. I will not sing this, and instead I say the other acclaimations to myself.
Few people know that this verse (although true) is a total concotion of OCP.
I just will not say it. Our priest will not choose it for daily Mass either.
In other words, I abhor it since it came directly from OCP.
Well, they say ity is a medieval acclamation that they dusted up...
they say?
Who is they? OCP? LOL!
I am not sure — radio. I think it was a live recording of an ICEL or USCCB conference that Raymond Arroyo played.
