SAC69, That's ridiculous. One lunatic's actions don't represent every Muslim. I am a teacher of international students, and many of my Muslim students have been the kindest and most honorable students I have worked with.

some miraculous business: a prediction from a visionary at Fatima said a Bishop in white would be shot. the vision was written down years before was sealed and went unopened until after the event. the Pope credited his survival to Our Lady of Fatima and the bullet has been added to a statue's crown there.

Pril San Pedro, When JP2 was made aware of the priest scandals in the US, he was stricken with grief over events directly contrary to his great work with young people. Stop blaming the entire Church for the evil done by some insane individuals. It’s as absurd as blaming Muslims for the acts of a single terrorist.

Efandra2003, He visited his shooter in prison as good Christians are supposed to do, got to know him, forgave him, and told him that God loves him.

Laudy Miss Claudy, While I don’t doubt the forgiveness I doubt that Agca was trying to kill him if he was actually an expert gunman . At close range he should have been able to hit the vital spots

Efandra2003, He had to, because he is a Christian and Christians have to forgive people.

Laudy Miss Claudy, a child in the crowd was wearing our Lady of Fatima picture imprinted in the front of his shirt. As the pope passed by, he glanced at the picture on the child's shirt and paused. That change of pace saved the pope from been mortally wounded
