You might remember when a man by the name of Mehmet Ali Agca shot and wounded Pope John Paul II in 1981. The assassination attempt led to the addition of bullet-proof glass around the Popemobile.

But did you know the pope was stabbed just a year later by a priest?

Following the assassination attempt, the former pope visited Portugal to thank God for letting him live. While there, Juan Maria Fernandez Krohn, a priest, stabbed the pope, angry about the pope’s reforms. At least that’s the story Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz tells in his new documentary, Testimony. The cardinal showed the film at the Vatican recently, revealing the secret stabbing to the world.

The pope was not seriously injured, and the Vatican kept the incident under wraps.
