| Description | Pope Francis has approved a change to the Lord's Prayer, widely regarded as the best-known prayer in the Christian faith.
The measure, which would change how Catholics around the world recite the prayer, replaces the line "and lead us not into temptation" with "do not let us fall into temptation," uCatholic.com reported.
The move to change the "temptation" phrasing in the prayer was not a spur of the moment decision, but the result of 16 years of research by experts into the current translation of the prayer, according to the Christian Post.
Pope Francis had said in 2017 that he took issue with the "lead us not into temptation" phrasing.
"A father does not lead into temptation, a father helps you to get up immediately," the pope said, according to the Christian Post. "It is not a good translation because it speaks of a God who induces temptation."
"The one who leads you into temptation is Satan," he added. "That's Satan's role." |
