On May 13, 1980, Mehmet Ali Agca approached Pope John Paul II as he traveled in an open motorcade through St. Peter’s Square in Rome and shot him four times before being apprehended. Two years later, John Paul II would visit Ali Agca in prison and offer him forgiveness. This invites a question: Who is our Ali Agca? Given a similar situation, would we escalate the violence and perpetuate the cycle of revenge, either in action or attitude, or would we absorb the blow, forgive the perpetrator, and end the cycle of revenge?
