Mehmet Ali Agca, the gunman who tried to kill Pope John Paul II nearly 30 years ago, is to be released from a Turkish prison in January after 28 years in Italian and Turkish jails. He plans to pray at the late pontiff’s tomb in Rome.
Well John paul II forgave him, the church has forgiven him and he has paid his debt to socity. Hopfully he has found repentance and will live a good life.
I am surprised that he has been let out at all… none the less, it was a beautiful thing when JPII forgave him, I believe this man has now become Catholic and has repented.
