I get that McKenna wanted the antimatter to be found so he could be a hero but why did he request the journals from CERN? The journals did not do anything to help him, all they did was implicate him, in fact it's the only way Richter figures out what McKenna is doing.
shareHe thought they were just normal research notes which would have no reason to mention him - but as Richter says, the scientist was a devout Catholic for whom the research raised deeply troubling issues, so he wrote about his contacts with the Vatican regarding these spiritual matters his work engendered, unknown to Mac.
"Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw..."
I guess that makes sense, it was still a terrible risk to take.

I thought it was Vittoria who requested the journals.
