Pope Francis in the first week of December last year called for a change in the wordings of the Italian translation of the Lord's Prayer. He wants the traditional wordings "And lead us not into temptation" to be changed as the recent French translation to say "do not let us enter into temptation." The English version also has a similar mistranslation as the Italian one.
