Corrected entry: When Robert and Vittoria visit the first church in the Path of Illumination, the sun is still up and it is fairly light. However when they go to the next church (St. Peter's Square) less then an hour later, it is pitch black. Surely the light levels can't change so drastically in one hour?

Correction: I live not too far south of where Rome would be in the US and it will be bright here and then 15 min later, pretty dark. Just depends on what time of the year it is.

Corrected entry: It is said that the four Cardinals will be publicly executed. However, most of the executions are not in public, but instead in areas where no-one is around.

Correction: But they are areas that are PUBLIC places and possibly easily seen. Plus they must be the "4 markers".

Corrected entry: The Vatican Archive is portrayed as a super-sophisticated complex of sealed chambers with controlled oxygen levels, and hallways that stretch seemingly far into the distance. As a quick visit to the Vatican website reveals, the Archive facilities are considerably more mundane and humble, looking much like an ordinary university store of old records and other literature.

Correction: These archives are meant to depict the Secret Archives. It is possible that the Vatican has a secret archive room that no one has been in that looks like that.

Corrected entry: After the cylinder is stolen from CERN, Vittoria explains that it is filled with a "highly combustible material": antimatter. Combustion is a chemical reaction, whereas matter/antimatter annihilation is a much more basic sort of quantum mechanical interaction. A layperson might make the mistake of referring to it as combustion, but a professional physicist never would. A more accurate word would be "volatile".

Correction: However, she is trying to explain this material to lay people. I believe she meant combustible as explosive. As in if the battery died then the resulting explosion would be catastrophic.

Angels & Demons (2009)

Corrected entry: A news reporter at the end reports that three Cardinals were found dead in a burning church (where one of them was burned earlier). However, since the conclave was already in the process of electing a Pope for some time before the fire, all Cardinals would have been inside the hall in the Vatican where the election was held.

Correction: Did you miss the majority of the movie? HE KIDNAPPED 4 cardinals BEFORE conclave started. They postponed the start of conclave hoping to get them back. The Vatican was simply covering up that the other cardinals had bad endings.
