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'
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].
