NPR reports on the lawsuit that individuals claiming to be the "heirs" of the Knights Templar have filed against Pope Benedict XVI, asking for damages in the multi-millions and for the restoration of the reputation of the Order. In 1307 Pope Clement V ordered that the Knights Templar order be eradicated officially, having accused the members of heresy. The Order of the Knights Templar was certainly rich and powerful, posing a threat not only to the Church but to the King of France, Philip IV, which may have led to its downfall, but its secrecy may also have been a problem. The workings of the Order and the mythology surrounding it is part of the plot of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Here's more from CNN.
