: I noticed that the movie was generally much more aware of the historical

: Apocrypha (which is *in* the Catholic bible) and the Dead Sea Scrolls
: (which only conspiracy theorists think are directly related to
: Christianity).
Only some of the Apocrypha are in the Catholic Bible, but those are apocrypha as defined by protestants. By definition, apocrypha aren't orthodox and can't be in the Bible. Some that aren't in any Bible are the Old Testament Book of Enoch. This is the book that most information about the ranks of angels and the war in heaven comes from. And, there are references to Jesus in the scrolls.
