The Illuminati deeply wants revenge against the Catholic Church for years of humiliation and torture. In the past, the Catholic Church had held “la purga”, the branding of illuminati scientists with the symbol of the cross to purge their sins. The murdered scientist’s bodies were then dumped into the streets of Rome as a warning to other possible Illuminati members. As long anticipated revenge, the Illuminati captures the “four cardinals” and plans to reenact the horrific branding and public discarding of the bodies. The deaths of these cardinals will then be remembered…by millions.
The final detonation of the Vatican will leave the religious world in complete uproar and confusion. The present existence of the Illuminati will be revealed, just as they hope.
When horrible actions have been committed in the past, the person(s) affected want their revenge to become noticed and receive the attention that they believe should have always been received. Actions are committed everyday and constantly dismissed by the public. Those who are directly affected do not dismiss their agony and through time build up a strong bitterness to those involved, which one day shows through.
I have since finished this novel and have a different perspective, as the novel goes through a complete twist at the end.

I agree with your observations, as they capture the essence of the vengeful theme in the book to a fault. The Illuminati do intend to make everyone watch, enen almost blowing their cover to let the media know of the murders. The justification of the murders is flawed, as any justification for revenge is. Of course, the one seeking revenge seldom sees clearly and never acts entirely in a logical manner.
