Agca converting?
Mehmet Ali Agca, the man who tried to assassinate John Paul II twenty-eight years ago this week, says that he would like to be baptized after his release from prison next year. If true, this is wonderful news, and a fruit of JPII’s response to this man’s attempt to kill him. However, there is reason to be skeptical of Agca’s claims, as he has also claimed to be the Messiah previously, and seems to want to wait until he is out of prison to be baptized so he can be baptized at the Vatican.
Like JPII, we should pray for this man and know that Christ is all-merciful to those who turn to him.
