"Heirs" of Knights Templar Sue Pope

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.

Now I have to have a “Processus Contra Templarios” Scrinium.org has them for about $8,000 . I saw one in a Library in New York and it is the most unbelievable set of Templar Documents I have ever seen. VIVA LA TEMPLARS!!!
