The Pope forgave him a long time ago.
Forgiveness, a moral issue, and deterrence, a practical issue, are two different things.
What Islamist fanatics are being taught by Europe is that they can beat a U.S. Navy servicemember to death or shoot the Pope when they are in their 20's and then be freed by the Europeans when they are in their 40's.
Pontential Islamists recruited for terror operations in Europe no longer have to weigh the negative of giving their lives for radical Islam. Now they only have to give 20 years for radical Islam.

A revealed part of the 3rd Secret of FATIMA predicted the attempted assassination of a Pope 64 years ahead of time.
Pope JOHN PAUL II personally attritbuted only our Lady of FATIMA's deflecting of this expert assassin's bullets, away from vital organs, as saving this Pope's life.
An unrevealed part of the 3rd Secret of FATIMA has to do with the End of the World. Something MEL GIBSON is following closely as he is filming "APOCALYPTO," a story about the end times of an enlightened Mayan Civilization ...whose calendar ended in the year 2012 AD..!!!
St. John also talks of End Times in the Bible coming when a third of the princes of the Church, princes being Priets, turn darkly into princes of evil. Relating to the current Priestly Sexuaul Abuse of Catholic children worldwide and its cover-up.
Can't wait to see this movie...
'cause...
MEL's -PASSION- was sparked by -WE WERE SOLDIERS-
