I was raised Catholic and we always (and still say) "trespassers/those who trespass against us"): Our Father who art in heaven hallowed by thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and deliver us from evil Amen I was never taught to say the last part that Protestants do, which is what i was told was the only difference. __________________________ Communication is not just words, communication is...architecture because of course it is quite obvious that the house that would be built without that desire, that desire to communicate, would not look as your house does today.
