No, Pope Francis Is Not Changing the Lord’s Prayer
This is a classic case of the pope saying something and the media distorting it.

"Newspapers and websites erupted over the weekend with headlines like:
- Lord's Prayer: Pope Francis calls for change (BBC)
- Pope Francis proposes change to the Lord's Prayer (AOL)
- Pope Francis wants to change the Lord's Prayer - Here's why (Catholic.Org)
- Pope Francis calls for Lord’s Prayer translation to be changed (Catholic Herald)
Shame on all of them.
The pope didn’t call for any changes.
This is a classic case of the pope saying something and the media going hog-wild and completely distorting it."
