Thread: Pope Francis suggests changing the words of the Lord's Prayer.

  1. #1

    Pope Francis suggests changing the words of the Lord's Prayer.

    I don't agree with some of things he's been saying, but I like what said about this...


    -One of the best-known prayers in the English language might need an update for the sake of theological clarity, Pope Francis suggested in an interview this week.

    The words in the Lord's Prayer that ask, "Lead us not into temptation," can cause confusion, Francis said. To make it clear that God would not lead anybody toward sin, the pope suggested a better translation of the Greek prayer from the New Testament would be something along the lines of, "Do not let us fall into temptation."

    ...Francis spoke about the prayer in an interview with Marco Pozza, a prison chaplain in Padua, on the channel TV2000 that is owned by Italian bishops. Pozza said that people sometimes ask him, "Father Marco, how can God ever lead us into temptation?"

    The pope replied that the translation is "not good."

    "It's not about letting me fall into temptation. It's I, the one who falls, not Him pushing me toward temptation," Francis said, miming the gesture of pushing someone, "so as to then see how I fall. No, well, a father won't do that. A father will immediately help you pick yourself up. Satan's the one leading you into temptation. That's Satan's task..."

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I’m not a fan of the Pope. Until he does a 180 on doctrine, and gets behind the President on all things Israel, he’s like that broken clock in my book. IJS
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.
