I'm not sure why the moderation is letting this conversation pass,
but...

In R' de Sola Pool's monograph on Qaddish, he discusses Qaddish
and lehavdil the Paternoster as having a common ancestry. See
http://ia360907.us.archive.org/1/items/kaddishk00poolrich/kaddishk00poolrich_bw.pdf
or http://kitzur.com/a7r0 , appendix D (pp 111-112). In it he quotes people
I never heard of who speak of the prayer's Jewish roots. (And that it
must have been Aramaic originally.)

Tir'u baTov!
