Sitting
in
the
Sistine
Chapel
among
his
stunned
colleagues
,
Cardinal
Mortati
tried
to
comprehend
the
words
he
was
hearing
.
Before
him
,
lit
only
by
the
candlelight
,
the
camerlegno
had
just
told
a
tale
of
such
hatred
and
treachery
that
Mortati
found
himself
trembling
.
The
camerlegno
spoke
of
kidnapped
cardinals
,
branded
cardinals
,
murdered
cardinals
.
He
spoke
of
the
ancient
Illuminati
—
a
name
that
dredged
up
forgotten
fears
—
and
of
their
resurgence
and
vow
of
revenge
against
the
church
.
With
pain
in
his
voice
,
the
camerlegno
spoke
of
his
late
Pope
…
the
victim
of
an
Illuminati
poisoning
.
And
finally
,
his
words
almost
a
whisper
,
he
spoke
of
a
deadly
new
technology
,
antimatter
,
which
in
less
than
two
hours
threatened
to
destroy
all
of
Vatican
City
.
When
he
was
through
,
it
was
as
if
Satan
himself
had
sucked
the
air
from
the
room
.
Nobody
could
move
.
The
camerlegno
’
s
words
hung
in
the
darkness
.
The
only
sound
Mortati
could
now
hear
was
the
anomalous
hum
of
a
television
camera
in
back
—
an
electronic
presence
no
conclave
in
history
had
ever
endured
—
but
a
presence
demanded
by
the
camerlegno
.
To
the
utter
astonishment
of
the
cardinals
,
the
camerlegno
had
entered
the
Sistine
Chapel
with
two
BBC
reporters
—
a
man
and
a
woman
—
and
announced
that
they
would
be
transmitting
his
solemn
statement
,
live
to
the
world
.
Now
,
speaking
directly
to
the
camera
,
the
camerlegno
stepped
forward
.
"
To
the
Illuminati
,
"
he
said
,
his
voice
deepening
,
"
and
to
those
of
science
,
let
me
say
this
.
"
He
paused
.
"
You
have
won
the
war
.
"
The
silence
spread
now
to
the
deepest
corners
of
the
chapel
.
Mortati
could
hear
the
desperate
thumping
of
his
own
heart
.
"
The
wheels
have
been
in
motion
for
a
long
time
,
"
the
camerlegno
said
.
"
Your
victory
has
been
inevitable
.
Never
before
has
it
been
as
obvious
as
it
is
at
this
moment
.
Science
is
the
new
God
.
"
What
is
he
saying
?
Mortati
thought
.
Has
he
gone
mad
?
The
entire
world
is
hearing
this
!
"
Medicine
,
electronic
communications
,
space
travel
,
genetic
manipulation
…
these
are
the
miracles
about
which
we
now
tell
our
children
.
These
are
the
miracles
we
herald
as
proof
that
science
will
bring
us
the
answers
.
The
ancient
stories
of
immaculate
conceptions
,
burning
bushes
,
and
parting
seas
are
no
longer
relevant
.
God
has
become
obsolete
.
Science
has
won
the
battle
.
We
concede
.
"
A
rustle
of
confusion
and
bewilderment
swept
through
the
chapel
.
"
But
science
’
s
victory
,
"
the
camerlegno
added
,
his
voice
intensifying
,
"
has
cost
every
one
of
us
.
And
it
has
cost
us
deeply
.
"
