Pope Francis has focused
his universal prayer intention for August on "refugees, forced
by violence to abandon their homes, that they may find a
generous welcome and the protection of their rights," Vatican
Radio has reported.
Ahead of the papal appeal, France said it is ready to help
facilitate asylum for Christians and other minorities fleeing an
Islamist onslaught in Northern Iraq.
Support is growing in France for the religious minority
driven from their homeland in northern Iraq by ISIS jihadists,
with thousands expected to join demonstrations of support
scheduled in cities across France this weekend.
