Finlay they can walk with heads raised and backs straight LMAO...

In all seriousness it's not a bad thing I wonder if this will draw open at least one veil of secrecy from modern groups that draw linage from the Templar Knights.

I agree Tess.  At least coming to terms with admitting they were wrong only took 700 years.

Can you say "Spanish Inquisition"?

The attack on the Templars was initiated by a French King, that owed them money.  They were a Monastic Catholic order that were the Soldiers and protectors of Outremer.


The Spanish Inquisition occurred almost 200 years later, and was the persecution of Jews and Muslims in Spain.

But  ya, hurray history!
