Pope Francis has called on the Roman Catholic Church to alter the Lord’s Prayer because he believes the current translation suggests God is capable of leading us “into temptation”.
Instead, “Our father”, which is the best known prayer in Christianity, should be said using the phrasing adopted by French bishops, which reads as “do not let us enter into temptation”.
The alternative wording used in France implies that it is through human fault that people are led to sin, rather than by God.
The pontiff made the suggestion during a televised interview on Wednesday evening, in which he claimed that the traditional phrasing was “not a good translation”.
“I am the one who falls. It’s not him pushing me into temptation to then see how I have fallen,” he continued. “A father doesn’t do that, a father helps you to get up immediately. It’s Satan who leads us into temptation, that’s his department.”

Matthew chapter 6:9-13
“... Our heavenly Father, hallowed is your name.
Your Kingdom is come. Your will is done,
As in heaven so also on earth.
Give us the bread for our daily need.
And leave us serene,
just as we also allowed others serenity.
And do not pass us through trial,
except separate us from the evil one.
For yours is the Kingdom,
the Power and the Glory
To the end of the universe, of all the universes.” Amen!
Translation from Aramaic.
Thanks.

This isn’t in the Bible is it?
Sounds like he's been hanging around Joel Osteen too much.
This is the kind of stuff you get from the Word of Faith preachers.
The doxology is a later addition, from a Greek manuscript assumed to be much older than it was.
I didn’t know that. I always assumed it was added by non-Catholics. My mistake.
It’s not part of Matthew 6.
Inducas = induce
Thanks for the input but lets just go ahead and leave that the way it is.
“And FRoman Catholics elsewhere on FR are blaming Luther for the world’s problems.”
Some might say there never would have been a Pope Francis if not for a Luther first.
Probably no Jesuits without Luther.
What is the difference between the O.P.s and the S.J.s?
The Dominicans were founded to combat Albigensianism, the Jesuits Protestantism—have you met an Albigensian lately.
Or vice versa.
How many more years do we have to listen to this communist POS?

What a deeyoosh.
Incorrect. He is a quite sane left wing activist whom leads my church but has abandoned the teachings of The Church.
The real problem with my church is the college of cardinals. They knew full well what this man was when they selected him to be The Pope.
My church is corrupt. My church is dying on the altar of Marxism.
Frankie, you are not supposed to change the words of Our Lord. He kinda frowns on things like that.
My pop was a preacher and I asked him about it once, "Why does that verse imply He would lead us into temptation unless we ask Him not to?" Pop said something to the effect that the verse means you're asking Him to protect you from being tempted.
Well, yeah, but that's not what it says...
God does not lead us into temptation. His very nature precludes this from even being a possibility. It shows how little our RCC friends understand the Word.
