What is the danger behind the Vatican's effort to change the wording of Matthew 6:13 and Luke 11:4?

The Vatican is attempting to change the phrase "lead us not into temptation" in Matthew 6:13 and Luke 11:4. Why?
In this article and one to follow, we present material on the mistranslation of a verse in the Gospel of Matthew in "evangelical" Bible versions in order to support Rome's false doctrines of the perpetual virginity and sinless perfection of Mary, which facilitate Romanism's false portrayal of Mary as a mediatrix for sinners and co-redemptrix alongside Jesus Christ.
This version has been greatly influenced by Roman Catholic guidelines in translation. In fact, various verses in this Bible do support the doctrines of Rome and undermine Protestant teachings.
