You remember Mehmet Ali Agca, the guy who tried to kill Pope John Paul II, right? Well, he has requested a day’s leave from jail this week. Why? It turns out the new pope is in Turkey, and Agca would like to meet with him.
I’m not making this up. Agca says he would like to meet with Pope Benedict, to discuss “theological issues.”
Sure, Mehmet. But you’re on your honor to lock the cell door behind you when you come back, okay? Here’s the story:
