Our Father...

I imagine that most people have a working knowledge of The Lord's Prayer, whether they class themselves as religious or not.  So it comes as something of a surprise to find that the Pope wants to change the wording.  The bit he's worried about is the part that says "lead us not into temptation".  Now the basic concept of this, like any prayer, is that we are talking to God - so we are asking God not to lead us into temptation - and it can be argued that the inference is that - unless we ask him not to - God will lead us into temptation. which of course goes completely against the basic Christian belief in a benevolent God.  The Pope would rather we copied the French, and changed the wording to "do not let us fall into temptation" which makes it clear that it is us who are in danger of falling into temptation, rather than it is God who might lead us there.
