The Pope’s almost-assassination
Oct 19th, 2008 | By Chris Basinet | Category: NewsWhy a priest would attempt an assassination on the late John Paul is anyone’s guess. On the anniversary of another attempt that occurred in Rome last year, a “deranged priest” drew blood from the Pope at a religious ceremony in Fatima, says Cardinal Dziwisz of Poland, who was John Paul’s private secretary for about 40 years.
On the same evening, the Vatican formally denied the attempt. The next day, footage of the occurrence was released in Portugal.
The Archbishop Marcinkus responded with, “You can’t always believe everything you see on television.”
But don’t take his word for it… check out the footage and original BBC coverage story for yourself.
