Pope Francis visits church Isis invaded and destroyed in Iraq

Pope in first ever papal visit to Iraq

Pope Francis visits a church in Iraq that Isis invaded and destroyed four years earlier.

It was a stop on his tour as the first ever pope to visit the country. His mission was to promote unity and address religious polarization in a country where over a million Christians have reduced to a few hundred thousand due to persecution and war.

Sky’s Middle East correspondent Mark Stone reports.
