Pope says all religious leaders must condemn Islamic State

People hold a banner during an Oct. 12 demonstration in Berlin against the Islamic State militant group, known as ISIS, and its insurgent attacks on the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis deplored the "abuses and inhuman acts" of Islamic State militants, and called on all religious leaders to condemn them "unanimously and unambiguously." He also said he hoped to travel to the Middle East to comfort persecuted Christians there.
