Angels & Demons is a 2009 American action mystery thriller film
directed by Ron Howard and written by Akiva Goldsman and David
Koepp, based on Dan Brown's 2000 novel of the same title.
It is the sequel to the 2006 film The Da Vinci Code, also directed by
Howard, and the second installment in the Robert Langdon film series.
However, the novel version was published before The Da Vinci Code
novel.
The Catholic Church mourns the sudden death of Pope Pius XVI, and
prepares for the papal conclave to elect his successor in Vatican City.
Father Patrick McKenna, the Camerlengo, temporarily controls the
Vatican during the sede vacante period.

Long ago,this sort of purposeless running, had been referred
to as jogging, but with foreign words falling out of use, it was
now called loping down, an expression that had started out
as a joke meaning "if you lope your blood pressure goes down,"
but everybody called it that these days.
And kids Mumei's age would never have dreamt that adding
just an e in front of it the word lope could conjure up visions
of a young woman climbing down a ladder in the middle of
the night to run away with her lover.
