Millions of Christians around the world have recited the Lord's Prayer the same way for for centuries. But now Pope Francis wants to change it up a little bit. In an interview with Italian television, the Pontiff said he takes issue with the part that reads "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
Francis said that phrase seems to indicate that it's God who tempts people, but in fact, that's what Satan does. And considering the prayer is a translation of a translation of a translation, the Pope thinks it could use a tweak.
"It is not He that pushes me into temptation and then sees how I fall," the Pontiff offered. "A father does not do this. A father quickly helps those who are provoked into Satan's temptation."
It’s not as though the tweak is unheard of – the Catholic church in France recently changed the words in the French version to "do not let us enter into temptation."
