the sign of the cross

I was thinking about interpretations today, along the lines of;
'Dad'
'Upstairs'
'We respect you'
etc. etc.
It's been such a long time since I had to repeat similar phrases by rote that I have forgotten them.
So I looked them up on t'internet, just to make sure :-)

I found this; :-)

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Please! I beg you! Explain to me how Mrs Angela Merkel's "Christian Democratic Union" is in any way "Christian" or "Democratic".
God help us
