    Robert Langdon: Father, I simply believe that religion...

    Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: I did not ask if you believe what man says about God. I asked if you believe in God.

    Read Your Own History

    Richter: He said they'd be killed publicly.

    Robert Langdon: Yes. Revenge... for La Purga.

    Richter: La Purga?

    Robert Langdon: Oh, geez, you guys don't even read your own history, do you? 1668, the Church kidnapped four Illuminati scientists and branded each one of them on the chest with the symbol of the cross... to purge them of their sins and they executed them. Threw their bodies out into the street as a warning to others to stop questioning Church ruling on scientific matters. They radicalized them. The Purga created a darker, more violent Illuminati, one bent on... on retribution.

    How Did You Say It

    Robert Langdon: The Illuminati did not become violent until the 17th Century. Their name means "The Enlightened Ones." They were physicists and mathematicians, astronomers. They were concerned with the Church's inaccurate teaching and they were dedicated to scientific truth. But the Vatican didn't like that. So the Church began to... how did you say it? Oh, "Hunt them down and kill them."
