The Lord's prayer...addition

[Christina009]

I am trying to find out who added the last part of the Lord’s prayer.
I notice that Catholics don’t recite the part,“for thine is the kingdom,the power and the glory forever and ever”.
I asked a protestant pastor and his answer did not make sense.
He said that the those last words only magnify God’s glory and there’s nothing wrong with that. I asked about Rev.22:18,“For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book.”
He looked at me as if I was just being argumentive. I really want to know the truth.
Who added “for thine is the kingdom,the power and the glory”?
I tried a search but didn’t find out who made the change and why.

We take the Pater Noster from Matthew 6:9-13. The dexology added to Protestant Bibles came from the writing of the Apostles, The Didache (spelling??) We use the dexology during mass only. It is not part of the Pater Noster. It follows a prayer by the priest. I don’t think we are to say the dexology outside of mass. The dexology hasn’t been a part of mass that long. It came about after the Novus Ordo was finalized by Pope Paul VI

From the Haydock Catholic Bible Commentary on Matthew 6:13:
In the Greek we here read, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory; which words are found in some old Greek liturgies, and there is every appearance that they have thence slipped into the text of St. Matthew. They do not occur in St. Luke (xi. 4.), nor in any one of the old Latin copies, nor yet in the most ancient of the Greek texts. The holy Fathers prior to St. Chrysostom, as Grotius observes, who have explained the Lord’s prayer, never mention these words. — And not being found in Tertullian, St. Cyprian, St. Jerome, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, &c., nor in the Vatican Greek copy, nor in the Cambridge manuscripts. &c. as Dr. Wells also observes, it seems certain that they were only a pious conclusion, or doxology, with which the Greeks in the fourth century began to conclude their prayers, much after the same manner as, Glory be to the Father, &c. was added to the end of each psalm. We may reasonably presume, that these words at first were in the margin of some copies, and afterwards by some transcribers taken into the text itself. (Witham)

From A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture, ed. by Bernard Orchard, 1953, on Matthew 6:13, page 863:
The word ‘Amen’ is a later, liturgical addition. So also are doxologies like: ‘For thine is the kingdom…’, probably added (A. Plummer, An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, London 1915) to avoid ending the prayer with the word ‘evil’.
