The shooting of Pope John Paul II and two women who also were wounded in St. Peter's Square Wednesday, May 13, 1981. AP/Press Association Images

Gun used in attempted assassination on Pope John Paul II goes on exhibit

Italy’s justice ministry has loaned the museum the gun, a Browning 9mm, for three years.

THE GUN USED in an assassination bid on Pope John Paul II went on display today as part of a new exhibition at the soon-to-be saint’s childhood home in Poland.

The former Karol Wojtyla, who will be canonised on 27 April, was born in a house overlooking a basilica in the southern town of Wadowice that has since become a museum and pilgrimage site for his huge following.

Vatican Shooting Of Pope John Paul II AP / Press Association Images AP / Press Association Images / Press Association Images

Italy’s justice ministry has loaned the museum the gun, a Browning 9mm, for three years.

The late pontiff nearly died when Turkish extremist Mehmet Ali Agca shot him at close range in 1981 in Saint Peter’s Square, with one bullet going through his abdomen and another narrowly missing his heart.

The multimedia-heavy exhibition at 7 Koscielna Street also features clothes and family photos belonging to the pope, who died in 2005 after a 27-year marathon papacy.

MEHMET ALI AGCA - Identified by Italian authorities as an escaped Turkish terrorist, Mehmet Ali Agca, center, is escorted by policemen to Rome's police headquarters Thursday, May 14, 1981. He was charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Pope John Paul II and two women who also were wounded in St. Peter's Square AP / Press Association Images AP / Press Association Images / Press Association Images

    A great pic to use for this article would have been the one where Pope John Paul II met the man who tried to kill him in prison. It’s a powerful picture of of forgiveness and how forgiveness releases the chains and sets us free. God bless St.JohnPaul II. What a fantastic Saintly man he was.

    There is plenty of evidence to prove the crimes of the church and the senior clerics such as the popes who were complicit in the cover up of sexual crimes committed against children. JPII was no saint yet their are plenty of misinformed people out there who refuse to believe or ignore the overwhelming evidence that he and his cohorts protected child abusers. Still to this day bishops are not required to report child rape by clerics if the laws in their respective jurisdictions don’t require mandatory reporting of such crimes. Pointing out or reporting the crimes of clerics against innocent children is not and never has been an insult against god or religion .Anyone who claims that it is are sick and twisted and in my opinion evil.

    Be careful Stephen god is a vengeful god and may smite you and your family if he hasn’t already for
    Your willingness to support an organisation that defies the very foundations of Christianity . Even Jesus directed that child abuser should have a millstone out about their neck and be cast into the sea. So he didn’t forgive every act ! In fact for the first few hundred years of the church’s existence that was a punishment which they employed against child abusers . Pity they don’t still practise it today. But of course that would mean most of the Vatican would probably be sleeping with the fish.

He also despised communism for this reason because communism was a “breeding ground ” for atheism. He also blamed the Jews for the rise in communism. This made him a darling of the Catholic Church .

    Vatican hierarchy gave the green light to the right-wing junta and their death squads to kill whomever they liked, including Archbishop Oscar Romero in his own Salvadorian church while celebrating communion.

    It has never been revealed who hired him. There are theories that it was the KGB. The Pope was Polish and the KGB were threatened by the growing ‘Solidarity’ movement there.
    It was a fascinating period of history. The Pope played a huge role, in dialogue between Reagan & Gorbachev, and was instrumental in maintaining peace, during a very tense & dangerous time, in world history.

    There were 47 attempts on hitlers life all of which failed . Were they all miracles too Zoe ? hilter certainly believed one of them was. The interesting thing about the beer hall bomb attempt was the church’s response.

    Hitler’s exact words at a later meeting : “Now I am content. The fact that I left earlier than usual shows that Providence intends to allow me to reach my goal!”

    As if to strengthen that impression, two people who rushed to congratulate him on “miraculously” surviving the assassination attempt were the Roman Catholic cardinals, Faulhabar and Bertram, and special thanksgiving was sung in Munich’s cathedral.

I would prefer a biblical punishment like Jesus proposed . To tie a millstone around their neck and cast them into the sea. Even Jesus wished death on such people. His words not mine !

    One things these Christians lack is a display of Christianity towards fellow man (and woman) it would appear here.

    The Pope put the failed assassination down to his deep faith in the blessed Virgin.He said it was her hand that guide the bullet away from his arteries.
    Wonder why she didn’t make the assassin miss completely?

    (it was the Doctors who saved his life not a mythological Virgin)

    Anyway the Pope was in to some strange stuff

    but sure that’s not surprising considering the track record of the Vatican.

    Looking back on news reels of 1979 visit to Ireland and the almost constant sight of Irish children involved in all aspects of that visit.
    What evil and hypocrisy then that the leader of this vile organisation did nothing only encourage the systematic abuse of children.
    His reward, a sainthood????

    Operation Gladio in action. (I mean the actual assassination attempt, not the endless bleating in the comments section)
