Where the Templars wrong?
Karma, jealousy or something crushed their cojones at the end of the day.
Reminds me a wee bit of our January 6 political prisoners.
About this and all matters both great and small, we now must retire to our keyboards in righteous indignation.

If I can respond to the multitude of flavors of bananas: YUM. Re: the Templars: their spirit lives, even in our seeming banana republic.

I donât think they were wrong. They were too powerful, sâall, thus a threat to the Pope and the French throne. Thatâs quite obv! A military order, who were also bankers! CTFO!
You know that as Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, stood at Isle de la CitĂ© with the flames licking at his feet, he shouted,, âKing Philip! Nogaret! Pope Clement! Before the year is out, I will meet you before the throne of God!â And they all died within the year..
And you know that when Louis 16âs head fell, a French Freemason stepped out of the crowd, dipped his fingers in the kingâs blood, flicked it out over the crowd and cried, âJacques de Molay, you are avenged!â

Wrapped up/caught up in the tension between the sacred and the secular roles of the papacy at the time; both rather poorly fulfilled. (The papacy’s presence at Avignon is referred to in ecclesial history as “The Babylonian Captivity”, actually.) St. Catherine of Sienna was tireless in her efforts to convince the then-occupant of the Chair of Peter, Gregory XI, to return to Rome: She succeeded. Dan Brown really could’ve done something useful, if he had considered history, rather than fantasy.

Did Dan Brown write a book about this period? I do remember the bits about the Merovingians being direct descendants of Jesus and MM.
I really hafta laugh, looking back on that era when Brownâs book The DaVinci Code was so huge. He thought it would change everybodyâs perception of Christianity, forever! Yeah, no so muchâŠ.
Heâs kind of an awful writer, but he really has the gift to make you keep turning the pages!
