Lord's Prayer: Pope Francis Calls For Change by bro4u: 3:05pm On Dec 09, 2017
Pope Francis has called for a
translation of a phrase about
temptation in the Lord's Prayer
to be changed.

The current wording that says
"lead us not into temptation" is
not a good translation because
God does not lead humans to
sin, he says.

His suggestion is to use "do not
let us fall into temptation"
instead, he told Italian TV on
Wednesday night.

The Lord's Prayer is the best-
known prayer in Christianity.

The pontiff said France's Roman
Catholic Church was now using
the new wording "do not let us
fall into temptation" as an
alternative, and something
similar should be used
worldwide.

"Do not let me fall into
temptation because it is I who
fall, it is not God who throws me
into temptation and then sees
how I fell," he told TV2000, an
Italian Catholic TV channel.

"A father does not do that, a
father helps you to get up
immediately."

It is a translation from the Latin
Vulgate, a 4th-Century Latin
translation of the Bible, which
itself was translated from
ancient Greek, Hebrew and
Aramaic.

Since the beginning of his
papacy, Pope Francis has not
shied away from controversy
and has tackled some issues
head-on, Vatican observers say.

He has previously said the
Roman Catholic Church should
apologise to gay people for the
way it has treated them.
