VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has opened the floodgates with his recommendation of changes<\/a> to the \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer\u201d. The Pope says we should drop the notion that God leads anyone into temptation. As a result of this, the entire world is being thrown into linguistic chaos.<\/p>\n

In place of \u201cI do,\u201d grooms the world over have changed the marriage vow to \u201cI\u2019ll give it my best shot.<\/em>\u201d Brides have countered with: \u201cThat depends \u2026<\/em>\u201d as their retort.<\/p>\n

The US Department of Justice is recommending a change to the Miranda Rights<\/em> \u2013 From \u201cYou have the right to remain silent \u2026 \u201c to \u201cYou have the right to blame everyone but yourself \u2026<\/em>\u201d \u201cThis seems to be more in line with how things actually are,\u201d said one department employee.<\/p>\n

Court houses throughout the country are changing the question: Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God<\/em> to What are the chances anything you testify to might be remotely accurate?<\/em> This change has strong support from the Trump Administration.<\/p>\n

Everything from the Scout Law to the US Constitution is now up for grabs. \u201cThe pope has dropped a verbal grenade,\u201d says the NY Times, \u201cthat has William Safire rolling over in his grave.\u201d The justification for these dramatic alterations is based on the fact that language and culture both undergo significant change from generation to generation. This, coupled with the fact that no one really knows what anyone else is talking about, suggests that The Lord\u2019s Prayer<\/em> is in need of a facelift. One Catholic priest \u2013 Father Jonathan Morris \u2013 reminds us that \u201cNo one can change what Jesus said.” It\u2019s just that \u201cno one actually knows<\/u><\/em> what Jesus said,\u201d and Jesus certainly could not<\/u> have meant that God would lead anyone into temptation. It is noted that, for many, the Ten Commandments<\/em> are actually the Ten Suggestions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, these changes could create so much confusion that peace will become more than a Christmas wish; with no one knowing what anyone is talking about, humankind will either self-destruct before the New Year, or everyone will simply ignore what everyone else is saying \u2013 in which case universal calm might prevail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
