HOLY FATHER WANTS TO EDIT THE “OUR FATHER”
– SAYS “LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION” IS “NOT A GOOD TRANSLATION”
– “TOO STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT GOD LEADS PEOPLE TO SIN…”
– THE FRENCH CATHOLIC CHURCH ALREADY — USES THE PHRASE “…DO NOT LET US FALL INTO TEMPTATION…”; FRANCIS LIKES THAT BETTER, HOWEVER…
– WE WONDER IF FRANCIS MAY WANT TO GO FURTHER AND ACTUALLY CALL ON GOD TO REMOVE ONE OF HIS BIGGEST MISTAKES AND GREATEST TEMPTATIONS HE HAS PLACED BEFORE MANKIND
– THAT WOULD BE, OF COURSE, THE LORD MAKING ALL THOSE NATURAL RESOURCES SO READILY AVAILABLE BY WHICH MANKIND COULD EXPLOIT FOR HIS IMPROVED EXISTENCE AND COMFORT…FOSSIL FUELS BEING AMONG THE MOST OFFENSIVE TO THE PONTIFF!
“OUR FATHER, LEAD US NOT INTO CLIMATE CHANGE BY TEMPTING US WITH SUCH EVIL RESOURCES” MIGHT BE A SUPPLICATION HIS HOLINESS WOULD PREFER.

Much ado about nothing. The phrase, “not into” is the same as “away from”. So, “Lead us, not into (away from) temptation is clearly asking for assistance in avoiding temptation. You have to stretch the language to interpret it the way the crazy guy running the Vatican does.
