Given the central role of the Vatican to the Catholic faith, it is no wonder that the radicals of the Islamic State would want to target it. Indeed, a good number of their videos released on the Internet feature declarations by it’s members that they will soon strike in the Holy See. According to Express:
“Following the bloody night in Paris last month last month, in which 130 people died, Pope Francis said: ‘Such barbarity leaves us dismayed, and we ask ourselves how the human heart can plan and carry out such horrible events.’
‘There are no justifications for these things.’
The latest, and most ominous video, shows CGI ISIS tanks advancing on a crumbling Colosseum, promises a final battle between ‘believers’ and ‘crusaders.’
It also shows an eerie St Peter’s Basilica, the papal enclave within the Vatican City, bathed in an orange light and accompanied by chilling music.
The video’s narrator then apparently claims that ISIS will take over Rome, destroying crucifixes and taking Christian women as slaves.
Last week, yet another video was released by ISIS, again specifically mentioning the Italian capital.
In it, a jihadi vowed: ‘By Allah, if we brought down France in its homeland, in Paris, then we swear, by the command of Allah, we will attack America in its heartland, in Washington, Allah permitting, and we will invade Rome, Allah permitting.'”

Matt Boettcher The church has been behind the most corruption of all times. Still has not released its part behind$#%&!@*Germany. The Truth is locked up in the Vatican! Organized religion is proving to be detrimental and not inspiring to humanity any longer.We must use our god given brain to overcome these atrocities man made.
Pope Francis, you depend on your armed guards, just like obama does. Why do you not call for control of the muslims use of the machete to kill Christians? Maybe you should think a little more about trust.
Jack Sr Pryma They don’t want to see. It makes them “uncomfortable”. But, we are seeing prophecies fulfilled every day. And Jesus tells us to “Watch”.
No!!! Pope Fran is a commie-socualist…!
I thought the pope wanted to accept all the “refugees”
For someone that is Anti Gun think he may reconsider his position.
Blah, blah, blah! You mean nothing to me and what you say means nothing to me! Your just another left wing shi! Starter! Period! Europe breads this ignorant shi! Left and right and wonders why they have the issues they have! Wtf!
What a door knob. I call you out of your hypocrisy Francis.
Don’t blame the church or religion for human errors Brian.
God and religion have brought out the best in people and still does more good than anything else in the world.
God the Father is not a religion Anthony. Have you read the HOLY BIBLE lately?
Catholicism. Never trust men in robe’s waving smoke and say you may sit at my feet. Pope on a rope is logical…
