While the Vatican might be officially denying it, I'm sure if these satanists could get close to him there is no doubt that they would try and harm him. I know Our Holy Father from the first moments of his Pontificate placed himself under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I know many if you pray for Pope Francis, but I'm sure this story has truth to it and I feel strongly we should all be raising our voices in prayer to Our Lady to watch over our dear Holy Fatter. http://www.newsmax.com/thewire/pope-francis-isis-threat-denied/2014/08/29/id/591572/
I agree, I know they are downplaying it but it is hard to believe Isis would not attack the Holy Father if they could.
Will keep praying for Pope Francis. Of course they will want to attack him but I understand why the Vatican wants to downplay this report
Just like how 'Marathon' chocolate bars became 'Snickers', and 'Jif' became 'Cif', I'm convinced 'Al Quaida' are 'ISIS'.
It's all the same, no matter the name. Radical Islamists have been overtaken by evil intent on destroying our Catholic, Jewish, and all faiths not in line with their interpretation of the Muslim religion.
