It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Today is the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord

1
The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,
2
Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.
3
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
4
And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.
5
For John indeed baptized with water: but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.
6
They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?
7
But he said to them: It is not for you to know the time or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:
8
But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.
9
And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10
And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
11
Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven.

About Me

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
