Man confesses to stabbing Catholic priest - Turkish Daily News Apr 11, 2008
A man confessed in court Wednesday to having stabbed a Roman Catholic priest last year because he was angered by Christian missionary activities in Turkey, the Anatolia news agency reported.
"I read in the press about missionary activities by priests. The Turks' only weapon is their faith and I think they [the priests] want to eradicate it," Ramazan Bay told a court in İzmir.
Bay, 19, stabbed Italian priest Adriano Franchini, 65, in the stomach after attending Sunday mass at Saint Anthony's Church in İzmir in December.
He told the court he acted alone.
