If you read the article, the guy was sending letters to the Pope requesting that he not come to Turkey and he had (from within prison) had contacts with the CIA.
The guy still sounds insane to me.
Either that, or worse, he is still a dedicated Marxist working still operating in his own mind. Pope John Paul and Reagan both went a long way to destabilize and delegitimize the USSR. Those old warbirds in the Politburo tried to kill the Pope. They wouldn’t have chosen a lightweight to do it.
I question this man’s release.
