In the interview with Cardinal Giuseppe Betori – Avvenire 10/7/2017 – there is confirmation of a forthcoming correction of the Gospel text, as desired by Pope Francis I, in agreement with the most learned biblical scholars around. “Teamwork”, the Florentine prelate observes pleased, which he determined to be, the passage from Matthew 6, 13 “And do not lead us into temptation” is completely unacceptable because – Pope Francis reasons, Cardinal Betori and the team of biblical scholars – God, which is supreme goodness and infinite mercy, it can never 'lead' into temptation. Therefore, post this 'truth', the offending verb must be replaced with another more corresponding to the aforementioned divine goodness and mercy.
And here it is, At that time, get out of the cylinder of the conciliar vocabulary the magical substitution solution: “Do not abandon us to temptation”, formula that, despite not being – in September 2018 – was sanctioned in AAS, it is recited here and there. A formula, as we said above, which determines a double disastrous drift: theological and semantic and for which we are preparing to give an account and reason.
He N. T., come to, it is written in the Greek language that, although different from the Aramaic spoken by Jesus, it is the canonical text on which the entire Revelation and the 'Depositum fidei' are based. This is to say that, Greek or Aramaic version, nothing changes for the purposes of the inerrancy of the Word of God made man.
What does it say, At that time, Jesus (Mt. 6, 13)?. It literally says “kài mè eisenègkes emàs éispeirasmòn, alla rysai emàs apò tu ponerù”, corresponding to the Latin of the Vulgate of Saint Jerome"and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil”, Meaning what, “And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil”.
Papa, Cardinal Betori and a team of biblical scholars affirm that God does not lead into temptation. Bene, tell us then, what do the many trials mean - real inductions into temptation - to which, as V says. T., the Lord subjects Israel, i profeti, Abraham, Job, as the psalm says 138, 1 and as we read in the N. T. – Gospel of Matthew 4, 1/11 – Jesus himself being led into temptation, put to the test as it expressly recites the Greek text “All Jesus here is your hermon and your Pneumatos peristhenai and your devil” – Tunc Jesus ductus is in desertum a Spirit, ut tentatur a diabolo – Then Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit (Santo) because he was tempted by the devil.
There is no reason to dwell on demonstrating how presumptuous and offensive the decision to delete the verb 'induce' to 'abandon' is as it is very clear, even to the blind, the power and will that God has to impose tests, Meaning what, 'lead into temptation', as well as the psalmist says.
Extremely serious act of cultural arrogance and rebellion, therefore, arises, from a theological point of view, such an attempt to correct the Word of God considered out of step with the times. Heresy, there is no doubt.
Ora, if with the replacement of 'induce' with 'abandon' it was accomplished, referring to the theological side, a heretical action and an offense against Him who is Truth, under the semantic one the maximum of ridiculousness has been reached. I was alone, who claim to rectify Christ, they were shipwrecked in the sea of ​​tragicomic making the criticized 'induce' even worse. We, therefore, with the aid of the sole etymological/logical/semantic analysis of the two verbs - induce/abandon - we will demonstrate how the adoption of the second creates an even sacrilegious vision. Let's see them.
a – Induce. Verb that follows the Latin 'in-ducere' - to lead towards - and that, in the various and multiple circumstances in which it is flexed, it means a dynamism with which a subject pushes and/or is pushed to behave, mostly negative gestures like: mislead, induce crime . . . Ora, considering etymology and semantics, it can be noted that in the compound in-duce there is an initial motion to which the connected subject is not necessarily forced to give in so much, that leading into temptation is nothing more than an 'attempt', operation that solicits something but does not bring it to completion. We said above that God 'tests' how he appears, among the many, from the examples of Job and Jesus, two that, differently, they were able to reject induction by giving us the model for how to overcome a critical moment.
Done, therefore, It is clear that the 'inducing' of the Our Father expresses the will of God according to which He puts to the test, it is not automatic that man must fall into sin as it is his free will, enlightened and taught by divine Law, allows him the knowledge of Good and Evil and, Therefore, the will to resist and win.
He who practices extreme sports, the acrobat, the rock climber, puts himself to the test, one 'induces' oneself into risk not because it will surely fail because it would make no sense to challenge one's limit if the desire to overcome the line that marks the two areas was not established a priori: defeat and victory.
b – Abandon. Verb of various etymology that specialists trace back to an ancient French “à ban donner” – to give at the mercy of – or to “a bando dare” – to proscribe, leave permanently. However you use it, maintains a highly unique meaning, that is: leave someone/something without help, without protection, forget someone/something voluntarily or not. In short, the concept that emerges says how abandoning is worth an action that, referring to the new formula of the correct Our Father, would make God a wicked or forgetful Being who, the man fell into temptation, it leaves you without help, without the possibility of recovery, without any means of redemption, taking no interest in him. Ora, it would be paradoxical that in prayer, taught to us by Christ himself, ask the Father not to 'abandon' us to temptation, not to leave us alone and without his help. A piece, as can be clearly seen, worse than the hole you would like to mend, to the glory of the Pontiff, of Cardinal Betori and the team of cultured biblical scholars.
We feel obliged to advise them not to venture into conflicts with the Word of Christ which leads to defeat, as well as the fool, it's safe, as well as the price to pay.
So, it is clear how the replacement of dynamic inducing with static abandoning does a terrible service to the Truth and reveals the revisionist eagerness of the new Church which, to model a pastoral care of a purely human nature, weighs the Word of God. But the Bergoglian revolution, that drips mercy from every claw, it moves forward unstoppably, trusting their word (!) di p. Arturo Sosa, current 'black pope', the Jesuit who states how, to be good Christians today, it is necessary to contextualize historically, that is, according to the Hegelian 'zeitgeist' - the spirit of the time - the Word of Christ who, let it be said clearly and frankly and let it be known, he didn't have voice recorders, so – as they say in such cases – “Verba (Christi) flying” – the word (of Christ) flywheel.
