...with a 5,900 euros (4,125 pounds) price tag.

I'll wait for the paperback version.

This is like Hillary giving back campaign money two years after the election is over.

It is precisely 700 years ago this week, Friday October 13, 1307, that King Philip (Le Bel) of France sent his henchman, Guillaume de Nogaret (who had caused the death of the previous Pope Boniface so that Philip could install Clement and begin the Avignon Captivity) to betray and arrest the Templars in the Paris commandery.

Interesting timing.

I’m among those that think they were the good guys and that the bad guys have held their legacy hostage for all this time. I find it most instructive that they were the “bad guys” in the virulently anti-Christian book and movie The Da Vinci Code. The fact that story, among others, specifically echos the heresies of both the Islamists and the Gnostics and attempts to portray The Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon as the source of evil is instructive.

Liberals still practice this kind of lying. It’s called “projection.”  Accuse your enemies of your own crimes (or sins) and they can't then credibly bring out the truth against you.  It's where the "they all do it" defense came from.

Doesn’t this prove that the Templar/Illuminati/Masonic/Bilderberger/New World Order conspiracy has finally infiltrated the Vatican, and issued this whitewash? /s

“Ping before the conspiracy crowd blows in.”

Not to worry, I have my secret decoder ring on so all are safe.

The Knights Templar, the medieval Christian military order accused of heresy and sexual misconduct...

Would that make them Boogie Knights?

A Country Funeral

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late.
I saw the backhoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, stepped to the side of the open grave and saw that the vault lid was already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached, the workers began to say “Amen,” “Praise the Lord,” and “Glory”! I preached, and I preached, like I’d never preached before, from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, “I ain’t never seen anything like that before, and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”
