Pope On ISIS killings: Blood Of Ethiopian Christians ‘Cries Out To Be Heard’ 

Pope Francis voiced his distress at the news of a reported mass execution of Ethiopian Christians in Libya at the hands of ISIS, pleading that their deaths may not go ignored.

“The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out to be heard by everyone who can still distinguish between good and evil. All the more this cry must be heard by those who have the destiny of peoples in their hands.”

In a message to Abuna Matthias, patriarch of the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church, the Pope offered “heartfelt condolences” and an “embrace of peace in Christ Our Lord.”

“With great distress and sadness I learn of the further shocking violence perpetrated against innocent Christians in Libya,” the Pope said. “I know that Your Holiness is suffering deeply in heart and mind at the sight of your faithful children being killed for the sole reason that they are followers of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
