Now in a cruel twist,
this human gesture appears to have backfired very badly.
Italy is one of a handful of major Western counties that has not been victim of a large-scale terror assault, despite being a seat for Christianity.

But now ISIS is targeting the Pope himself, taking photos with threatening messages in front of police stations and famous buildings, then posting them online to prove they have surrounded the Vatican.

Let’s hope Pope Francis doesn’t lose his anytime soon.
