Cardinal Filoni: ISIS Doing ‘Devil Things’

‘We are not talking about war, we are talking about ... terrorists’

Likening ISIS to the Devil, Cardinal makes case for ‘moral’ protection of civilians (CNN)

Likening ISIS’s rampage to the Devil, the Pope’s envoy to Iraq on Monday made the careful case for taking on ISIS in the name of protecting civilians.

“No one can use the name, or in the name of God to do something like this,” said Cardinal Fernando Filoni, referring to ISIS’s very public beheadings. “These are really Devil things.”

“I don’t say war. I wanted to say defending people who are in need. And this was asked by people there.”
