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 … ”

"Do not let us fall into temptation, but deliver us from evil Donald Trump and Republicans"????
This is a false assertion. Quote the 10 commandments, with chapter and verse, and I will show you the exact thing from a Catholic translation.
I know it’s easy to inadvertently lose track of requests, so I will remind you again if you don’t respond.
False pope.
A few pages inside the front cover of any Bible is a copyright notice. They can change their product any time they choose, as the Catholic Church has done countless times in the past.
This is a beauty. Who recorded the actual words of Jesus, given that the New Testament wasn't written as Jesus spoke the words, but sometime later. Not only that, each Apostle's account was a bit different. Then there are the translations...

There are several translations of the Pater Nostra.
How do we know for a fact that one man didn’t write both? Do we have fingerprints or something, or just somebody’s word for it?
“lead us not into temptation” is not literal, it’s simply a rhetorical way of saying Lord, lead us down the right path. That’s what God has planned for us anyway, he just wants to hear it from us. Another thing, when Jesus spoke these words along with the entire prayer, he was giving the disciples an example of how to pray, he never intended for the entire prayer to be repeated verbatim during church services in a repetitive manner. God wants to hear from our hearts with prayer in our own words. So by unnecessarily changing the words in the prayer, the Pope is essentially doing just that, further promoting the prayer as a repetitive religious ritual by bringing attention to the change he made, not what God intended. And that’s an example of why the Pope shouldn’t be tampering with God’s written word.
