Pope condemns ISIS execution of 21 Christians for their Faith

Pope Francis has today condemned the beheading of 21 Coptic Egyptians by ISIS militants, saying all Christians 'be they Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Lutherans' are one faith, proclaiming the murdered men martyrs.
The Pope unexpectedly went off script following a meeting with a representative of the Church of Scotland in the Vatican, making a short speech in his native Spanish in which he claimed the murdered Egyptians' last words were 'Jesus help me'

Condemning: Pope Francis expressed 'profound sadness' over the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by Islamic militants in Libya, saying they had been killed for their faith

Pope Francis has today expressed 'profound sadness' at hearing of the brutal murders of the 21 Christian Egyptians.
'Today I read about the execution of those twenty-one or twenty-two Coptic Christians,' the Pope said in his native Spanish according to Breitbart. 'Their only words were: "Jesus, help me!"
'They were executed for nothing more than the fact that they were Christian. The blood of our Christian sisters and brothers is testimony that cries out [to us].

Horror: Blood is seen in the Mediterranean Sea. In the video the jihadis say they now plan to 'conquer Rome'. Italy is only 450 miles away
