Vatican backs using force against IS

You knew this was coming, but to hear an archbishop state it so bluntly is a new thing--and refreshing.

Vatican backs using force against IS

BBC News BBC News
1 hr ago

The Vatican says force may be necessary to stop attacks on Christians and other Middle East minorities by Islamic State (IS) if no political solution is found.

Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican's top diplomat at the UN in Geneva, said jihadists were committing "genocide" and must be stopped.

The Vatican traditionally opposes military intervention in the region.

However, Pope Francis decried the beheading in February of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by IS in Libya.

The militants have targeted minority religious groups in the parts of Syria and Iraq under their control. Thousands more people have been forced to flee their homes.

Forgetting that the Crusades were in response to years of Muslim aggression in the Holy Lands....much like what's going on this very day.

I was wondering when the Vatican were going to do something about this. It is getting out of control. Whatever help the Vatican is willing to give the situation, I will be thankful for..

Their knowledge of history is selective....very selective.

It's not just the DUmmies saying that.  They got their cue to repeat that lie from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

This is a promising development.
It's hard to avoid the fact that over the centuries the church and the muslim religionve not changed very much if at all.
So if they clashed with the same fundamental disagreements in past history, it only makes sense there will be the same conflict today.
The question all along has been, will anyone stand on tradition and principle to confrontation.
