Saw the spot, great message. I’m thinking a more militant message a la Knights Templar Crusades era kind of thing. Now those guys kicked ass. Word on the street was they even had Saladin quaking in his knickers. Aah, yes, the glorious days of yore ...

Seems I recall a bit of a flare up between Rome and the Templars. Laying claim to the Templar heritage after what was done to them by their own church? You've got to be kidding.

The fight was really more between the Templars and the King of France, who had the church under his thumb at the time and used it as a tool to punish the Templars.
