"'The Pope fathered a child.'
Inside he sistine Chapel, the camerlengo stood unwavering as he spoke. Five solitary words of astonishing desclosure. The entire assembly seemed to recoil in unison. The cardinals' accusing miens evaporated into aghast stares, as if every soul in the room were praying the camerlengo was wrong.
The Pope fathered a child.
Langdon felt the shock wave hit him too. Vittoria's hand, tightin his, jolted, while Langdon's mind, already numb with unanswered questions, wrestled to find a center of gravity.
The camerlengo's utterance seemed like it would hang forever in the air above them. Even in the camerlengo's frenzied eyes, Langdon could see pure conviction. Langdon wanted to disengage, tell himself he was lost in some grotesque nightmare, soon o wake up in a world that made sense (541-542)."
Whoa!!!!! Hold on did I really just read that the Pope had a child? Isn't their a law banning priest especially Popes from having any kind of sexual encounter ever? If that is the case then why is their a child somewhere. And isn't that just wrong on so many levels?
Those poor cardinals they just don't deserve that kind of jolt just after having the former pope die suddenly. They really just need to all go and get a nice massage and some major psycho therapy. Anyone who lived to hear that claim should probably be keeling over dead right about now. Although it is just a little wierd that the camerlengo is just taking this so easily like he didn't even feel the depth or severity of that kind of news.
Could their possibly be a thing between Vittoria and Robert? That hand grasp wasn't just because of the news their had to be a need for the support of a close person. But they just met that morning/afternoon. I just hope that something good comes out of all of this. This book still keeps me hooked even after over 500 pages!
