The main Vatican UN diplomat, Italian Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, has called for armed resistance to ISIS in a document presented to the UN Human Rights Council. Crux interviewed him about its aims:
Tomasi told Crux that in the first instance, he hopes the statement will galvanize nations around the world to provide humanitarian aid to Christians and other groups suffering at the hands of ISIS, so they can survive and stand up for their own rights.
Beyond that, Tomasi said, the crisis requires more coordinated protection, including the use of force to stop the hands of an aggressor.
It will be up the United Nations and its member states, especially the Security Council, to determine the exact form of intervention necessary, he said, but some responsibility [to act] is clear.

Will Francis, the talking mule, call out the Swiss Guard?

Pope Francis is gutsy. A Vatican Army to go in and protect Christian enclaves under attack would be appropriate. They wouldn't have any difficulty funding that via the collection box.
Calling in the UN? Who knows who they'd be protecting? As an organization, their goal is not to protect Christianity or any other specific group.

The Swiss Guard are drawn from the military. They are a tough, rough lot as anyone who has visited the Vatican can attest.

Well, that only took forever. You would have thought they would have woken up and smelled the coffee on May 13, 1981. Better late than never I guess.

How many divisions does the Pope have?

He should have called for a Crusade! All who die in battle go to heaven! Stamp out IS once and for all—Al Baghdadi should have been named by the Pope “Anti-Christ” and all Christians are duty bound to slay him on sight.
To: Plainsman
Well here we go. The call for an international crusade Who will don the rosy cross and shout “God wills it”?

Didn’t the Pope just say, publicly, that Islam was a religion of ‘peace’?
