Remember the Da Vinci code, yes! the famous work of Dan Braun which caused a great controversy about its content several issues including the church. While this author has another book called Angels and Demons, that in fact the movie is made and opens on May 15, 2009. Stressing that the books are better than the movie that does not miss any detail read the book. The point I want to address here is that, as well as the famous Da Vinci Code contained numerous historical errors, likewise his book Angels and demons also contains some absurd discrepancy and make believe, but are novels the author wants to present them as facts sell more and some people take it very seriously believe the many blunders that expose. Which was not afraid of the Catholic Church only code was a new heresy, so virulent that anyone who handled it would destroy historical apologetics into pieces item by item. But it seems the disease has also happened in Angels and Demons. Let's make the list of errors with the help of the famous Wikipedia.
Like other works by the same author, this novel has many inaccuracies that are presented as facts, among the errors of the novel are:
• The first edition of the book has numerous errors of location and use Italian, were partially corrected in subsequent editions.
• As for the description of antimatter, and even as its container is kept floating does not respect the laws of physics present in it.
• The novel tells the Camerlengo of the Church can not be a Cardinal, as to ensure the fairness of the election in the conclave, the chamberlain can not vote, or elected, when in reality, the chamberlain traditionally has always been a cardinal and he can be elected pope, moreover, in theory, any Catholic man could be chosen bearing in mind that before that has to go through the protocol, "seminarian, deacon, etc. Pope ...!,.
• is said that Satan comes from the Arabic word shaitan and the Catholic Church used for Arabic language considered dirty, in fact, comes from the Aramaic word שטנא Shatan and appears in the Old Testament long before the establishment of the Catholic Church.
• When Langdon is in the Pantheon recalling a college class, said that the Communion comes from the Aztecs and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to redeem the sins of the people coming of Quetzalcoatl. In fact the Aztec culture and the myth of Quetzalcoatl are after the start of Christianity and European contact with the Mesoamerican civilizations is not given (at least formally) to mid XVI Century
• The book claims that the Pope must speak Italian, Castilian and English, which is entirely inaccurate. It is true that she must speak both Italian and Castilian and Latin course. In any case, the dominance of English is a prerequisite.
