It is Christianitys turn to suffer religious persecution, Pope Francis told a World Jewish Congress delegation visiting his home in Rome Wednesday night, saying Christians are being killed while the world remains silent. In the world, there is still great suffering, the Pope told the delegation. First it was your turn. Now its our turn. Pope Francis said he wants to visit refugees in Jordan who have fled there to escape violence in Syria and Iraq. Christians in Iraq and Syria are being identified with a symbol bearing the Jewish letter N for Nazarene, which he said identifies Christians homes much as the yellow star was used in the past against European Jewry. Israel is the only place that is safe for Christians in the Middle East. Pope Francis said privately he believes we are in World War Three, but unlike the first two world wars, instead of happening all at once this war is coming in stages .. first Jews suffered savage attacks that were met with the worlds silence and now it is Christians who are being annihilated and the world is silent. The Pope has said ISIS should be stopped, saying in cases like this, where there is unjust aggression, then it is licit to halt the aggressor. However, he stressed halt, rather to bomb or make war against the insurgents. The Popes words, plus his standing as the most prominent Christian leader in the world, has led the Islamic State to issue credible threats to murder Pope Francis, a warning that comes as the pontiff plans a trip to Muslim-dominated Albania on Sunday, Iraqi Ambassador to the Vatican Habib al Sadr told the Italian newspaper La Nazione, reports Breitbart. Sadr said he does not have specific details of a threat but is convinced the Pope is in real danger. I think they could try to hit him during his travels or even in Rome, because there are members of ISIS who are not Arabs but also Canadians, Americans, French, British, and Italian, Sadr said.
