The Pope believes that World War Three had already begun. But unlike WWI and WWII that happened all at once, the current war is happening in stages - this he said during a private meeting with a congregation of Jewish leaders headed by Ronald S. Lauder on Sept 17 at Pope's house in Santa Marta.
.
Speaking during the World Jewish Congress press conference, Lauder had quoted the Pope to highlight the significant point of discussion that came out of the meeting. He said that the Pope compared the current attacks against Christian to the plight suffered by the Jews in the past. Lauder said that they were "in absolute agreement" in condemning the rampant and savage killing of Christians in the Middle East.
"He said first it was your turn and now it is our turn. In other words, first Jews suffered savage attacks that were met with the world's silence and now it is Christians who are being annihilated and the world is silent," Lauder expound. http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/567003/20140922/pope-francis-meets-jews-believes-wwiii-world.htm#.VCDNGWOwUp8
