Templar Knights, Serbian-Orthodox offshoot

[Armenian Bishop]

Hmm the Templers didn't had the best reputation

It was often claimed they practised satanism and held homosexual orgies

That accusation was a convenient way for the French King to dissolve his debts, and seize Knights Templar wealth.

Lies, spies and torture—lots of torture—masterminded by a power-hungry, money-mad king.

Not a big fan of Templars even if in Spain we have tons of Templar castles and parafeenalia.

Btw it is false that they promoted homosexuality and satanism. The French king accused them of this to steal their possessions, that is all.

It was, in the true nature of the word, "a witch hunt" (plain & simple). And yes, King Philip IV wanted to erase his debts owed to the Order, as well as to seize their wealth. The Knights Templars were among the bravest most valiant knights to ride with the Crusaders, and liberate Jerusalem.

Every radical organization call itself humanitarian, they behave so, unless they don't count you as human

The Knights Templar were definitely involved in occult stuff. They were no angels or pure Christians. And neither are Freemasons of today, same thing. They eventually serve another god and gods... not the God of the Bible.

The white and black of the Knights of St John looked cooler I think
