Knights Templar

The Vatican is about to publish documents it has in its possession about the Knights Templar. For those of you who follow the Templar stories, this should shed some light on some of the conspiracy theories that have been running around for what seems like the longest time.

Catch the full story here: EWTN News.

The Knights Templar, a religious order established in Jerusalem in 1118, grew in power during the Crusades, and became a formidable military and political force in Europe in the 12th and 13th century. In the early 14th century, under pressure from the French monarchy, Pope Clement V forcibly suppressed the order.
