Catholic Croatia

By: Liz Hasseld

Mehmet Ali Agca, who attempted to kill Pope John Paul II in 1981, has been released from prison in Turkey. He served 19 years in an Italian prison and another 10 years in Turkey for another earlier murder. John Paul official forgave Arca in 1983.

Agca has some questionable mental health issues, he has claimed that he was a new messiah."I proclaim the end of the world. All the world will be destroyed in this century. Every human being will die in this century... I am the Christ eternal."

He has released statements that he would like to live in Croatia, "If Croatia gives me political asylum, I would be glad to come and live in Croatia,"Croatian officials have not responded.

He plans to write a new bible to 'correct the mistakes' and he believes Catholic Croatia would be the perfect place for him to fit in.
