A
noble
lie
.
But
a
lie
all
the
same
.
We
both
know
the
truth
.
Tell
me
,
why
is
Vatican
City
a
walled
citadel
?
"
"
Men
of
God
live
in
a
dangerous
world
,
"
the
camerlegno
said
.
"
How
young
are
you
?
The
Vatican
is
a
fortress
because
the
Catholic
Church
holds
half
of
its
equity
inside
its
walls
—
rare
paintings
,
sculpture
,
devalued
jewels
,
priceless
books
…
then
there
is
the
gold
bullion
and
the
real
estate
deeds
inside
the
Vatican
Bank
vaults
.
Inside
estimates
put
the
raw
value
of
Vatican
City
at
48
.
5
billion
dollars
.
Quite
a
nest
egg
you
’
re
sitting
on
.
Tomorrow
it
will
be
ash
.
Liquidated
assets
as
it
were
.
You
will
be
bankrupt
.
Not
even
men
of
cloth
can
work
for
nothing
.
"
The
accuracy
of
the
statement
seemed
to
be
reflected
in
Olivetti
’
s
and
the
camerlegno
’
s
shell
-
shocked
looks
.
Langdon
wasn
’
t
sure
what
was
more
amazing
,
that
the
Catholic
Church
had
that
kind
of
money
,
or
that
the
Illuminati
somehow
knew
about
it
.
The
camerlegno
sighed
heavily
.
"
Faith
,
not
money
,
is
the
backbone
of
this
church
.
"
"
More
lies
,
"
the
caller
said
.
"
Last
year
you
spent
183
million
dollars
trying
to
support
your
struggling
dioceses
worldwide
.
Church
attendance
is
at
an
all
-
time
low
—
down
forty
-
six
percent
in
the
last
decade
.
Donations
are
half
what
they
were
only
seven
years
ago
.
Fewer
and
fewer
men
are
entering
the
seminary
.
Although
you
will
not
admit
it
,
your
church
is
dying
.
Consider
this
a
chance
to
go
out
with
a
bang
.
"
Olivetti
stepped
forward
.
He
seemed
less
combative
now
,
as
if
he
now
sensed
the
reality
facing
him
.
He
looked
like
a
man
searching
for
an
out
.
Any
out
.
"
And
what
if
some
of
that
bullion
went
to
fund
your
cause
?
"
"
Do
not
insult
us
both
.
"
"
We
have
money
.
