I read the Spanish translation of this book, and sincerely, it gave me the creeps and a sick feeling. Dan Brown demonizes the Roman Church in this religious horror story, by revealing in the second half of it that the real criminal behind all of it is the illegitimate son of the Pope. He kidnaps 4 archbishops of his own church, hires an Assassin (like Al Queda) to kill them one-by-one at symbolic locations of the Scientific Brotherhood's "Sendero de la Luz" (The Path of Light) in Rome. Galileo was one of the Broterhood of Light. The whole book is sick (I am not a fan of the Roman Church at all!), and my guess is that Dan Brown's purpose here was to make the Roman Church look dirty and sick. Well, the Roman Church wanted to create a world dictatorship "by ignorance," and its opponents, the Brotherhood of Light wanted a dictatorship "by science's rule." They want to take the material world to pieces and rearrange it in a new way, thereby rebelling against the original system the Creator gave us. True, that system is based on fighting and conflicts, and very imperfect. But this book of Dan Brown is sick.
