The story of the Templars is one of the most desolate and obscure
in the history of the medieval West: created as a
military-religious order to defend the Holy Land. After becoming
one of the most powerful and influential institutions of all
Christianity, the Temple was put under procedure at the beginning
of the 14th Century and then suspended in 1312, because of the
serious charges weighed against its members. The last Grand Master,
Jacques de Molay, chose to die as a testimony of his innocence,
contrasting the guilt of brothers who had been imputed to them,
heresy, adherence to an anti-Christian beliefs, corruption of
morals, and idolatry. The Templars have been linked with the shroud
of Turin, the Holy Grail, and the Ark of the Covenant. None of
these can be substantiated. What can be substantiated is that,
though arrested, tortured, and burned at the stake, Pope Clement V
absolved them from heresy in 1308, as discovered in a secret
Vatican parchment in 2001, and released to the public in 2007.
