He also wants to marry an Italian woman and full redemption from his past sins. He became famous after he shot Pope Jean Paul II, Pope recovered and forgave him (God knows why). Nevertheless, he had already killed a prominent Turkish journalist earlier on. He served time in Turkey and Italy and fled from prison when he was in Turkey. In his confession, he said he was a pawn, nobody knows what his real motives were. The fact that he has revealed so little despite talking all that much is a tell tale sign of his possible connection with global terrorist organizations (or countries controlling these sorts of activities).
This guy stole other people´s lives from them and their families. He has not had much of a life of his own either. Most of his life was spent as a prisoner in an isolated cell. It is very likely that he has become a different creature than how he was when he entered prison. He must have lost his contact with his roots, with reality, and with the daily flow of life. It is quite possible that the only person to forgive him unconditionally was Pope Jean Paul. By converting to his religion, he thinks he is redeeming himself from his past sins.
He did not manage to kill Pope but he left the wife and daughter of Ipekci without a husband and father. Will they excuse him? I don´t think so. In their eyes, he is still the same guy who murdered their father who had no way to defend himself.
Interesting...I wonder just how much he actually knows about Christianity, or Roman Catholic branch of it?
It seems he wants absolution....and seeks to be baptised in the Roman Catholic church. If he actually believes this, he must be tortured now, as he has no way to insure his sins to be forgiven without these conditions being fulfilled. Many in this believe system believe their souls will wander for eternity in limbo unless they are baptised, take the Eucharist and perform the penance given them by the priest.
At any rate, he seems to be a very tortured soul.
....Forgiveness....not much on Atonement...
