Pope Francis called the Islamic State fighters terrorists and said there was a need for “a professional, well-equipped army.” “The situation is going from bad to worse.” Contrast that to what Pope Benedict XVI said. See below.

Pope Benedict XVI has called for Christians as “to open their arms and hearts” to Muslim immigrants and “to dialogue” with them on religious issues. The Pope told participants that the Catholic Church is “increasingly aware” that “interreligious dialogue is a part of its commitment to the service of humanity in the modern world.”

in today’s non Christian world, the Middle East, Christians are forced to convert at the end of a sword or pay up, if not they are “dead meat.” Most who have come face to face with the ISIS force have fled the evil precipitated on the lands of Iraq and Syria. The main question remains, why is there not much of an outcry by the Christians of the world. Every Clergy, every Bishop, every Cardinal should be shouting from the top of their lungs what is happening to their Christian brothers and by who.

As Pope Francis said, ” we need to arm ourselves.”
