"together with the many bizarre claims made by Agca"

Mehmet Ali Agca, the attempted assassin of the Pope, is bananas:
The Pope later described Agca as a trained assassin who could not have been acting alone; but he also believed that both the attempt on his life and his survival were due to divine intervention.

He donated the bullet recovered from his abdomen to the shrine in Fatima, Portugal, where he believed the shooting had been foretold by the Virgin Mary to three local girls in 1917.
Whoops, that's not about what's-his-name, that's about Pope JPII! Apologies for the slip-up.

Two girls and a boy. The Virgin's third secret was supposedly about a pope's death. It's been the source of a bit of controversy.

The Pope (doesn't matter which one) is not bananas, then?

Nobody who believes that Portuguese kids predicted the future as told by the Virgin Mary could be bananananas.
