Pope, Envoys Address Mideast ISIS Threat

Pope Francis is meeting with his ambassadors from across the Middle East to find ways to better protect Christians targeted by Islamic terrorists.

The pope hopes that over the course of the three-day conference they'll come up with ways to show how the Church stands with persecuted believers.

Meanwhile, the Islamic State has seized a large part of Iraq and targeted religious minorities, killing hundreds and forcing hundreds of thousands to leave their homes.

The Vatican is pushing for military force to stop the jihadist army's advance.
