Important Quotes

Vittoria, Page 88

"My dad wanted to bring science to a higher level, where science supported the concept of God."

This is an important quote for the book because it explains that Leonardo Vetra was a man of both science and religion. It showed that religion does not always contradict science, and vice versa. This is important in the book because the thing that is causing all of the conflicts in the story are science and religion, and how they do not go hand in hand, when in fact they do. Vetra was trying to prove that science and religion compliment each other, rather that contradict each other.


Olivetti, Page 193

"You yourself had tea with them only hours ago."

Olivetti is saying this to the Comerlegno when the four favorite Cardinals have gone missing. He is saying this to reassure him that nothing is wrong, and that they will be able to find them no problem. This quote is so important, because later on in the book we find out that the Comerlegno is behind it all, and we know that the time when they were having tea is the time that they went missing.

Comerlegno, Page 670

"I shared their pain."

This quote is important because the Comerlegno is saying this as he motions to his chest at the ambigram of the Illuminati Diamond branded on his chest. He says that he too suffered like the four Cardinals did, and that he also would have died for God, like they did. He himself was behind their deaths, and thought that he was doing the right thing, and therefore, they died for God, and he also would have done the same thing.

"Why did they hide that which inspired fear? Fear brought people to God!"

This quote is very important because in this book, much fear is created by the Comerlegno. The Comerlegno creates fear to try and bring people to God. He digs up ancient history, and brings it back to live. By bringing back an ancient satanic cult, the Illuminati, he finds a way to gain control, and try and bring people to the religious community.

Cardinal Mortati, Page 680

"The pope created no sin, Carlo. He was chaste."

This is when we find out that the Pope did indeed have a child, but he had it through artificial insemination with a woman from the church whom he loved, but could not be with. This is very important because the whole reason all of this terrorism starts is because the Comerlegno (Carlo) thinks that the Pope was a liar, and impure. If the Camerlegno would have just listened to the Pope's story in the first place, and not jumped to conclusions, none of this would have started in the first place, and many lives could have been saved.
