Waiting for the internet version.
"She said the parchment reveals the cardinals reached the conclusion the Templars were guilty of abuses but not "a real and true heresy."
I'm sure the slaughtered Knights are rejoicing to hear that.

Amusingly, doesn’t this mean that the descendants of the slaughtered Templars should be able to sue France for damages plus interest?

“Secret” archives = private/separate archives. To translate segreto as secret is just plain false because it conveys a meaning untrue to the original language. Anybody who’s done a smidgin of translating knows that sometimes the word that sounds the same in the target language is exactly the word you can’t use if you want to convey accurate meaning.

The Templars were the first bankers of the world. When they were attacked by the King of France and the Pope, most disappeared and with them their assets. No one is really sure where they went but there is one story of a large group of them moving east of France to the mountains north of Italy into what is now modern day Switzerland.

King Philip IV owed the Templars money. Pope Clement V cut a deal with Philip and the Templars died as a result. The Catholic Encyclopedia which blames certain nobles in Philip’s court for the Pope’s condemnation of the Templars is going to have to be re-written to blame the Pope as co-conspirator for the murder of the Templars and the theft of their property.

"There were a lot of faults in the order — abuses, violence ... a lot of sins, but not heresy," she said. These included forcing new recruits to "reject Christ in words and spit on the cross," in imitation of the violence suffered by knights when captured by Muslims, Frale said. New members were kicked and punched if they refused to undergo this kind of hazing, she added.
Sounds like a bunch of fruitcakes to me. There is no way in hell that these fellers are stand-up believers. That said, the book would be cool to read - I think I'll put in a purchase request at the public library.

When I contracted for one of the Big Six accounting firms, their volumes of 5-year market projections cost $800 a pop, and they were on nasty part-recycled paper, with PowerPoint illustrations and cardboard covers.

Only 799 copies of the 300-page volume, "Processus Contra Templarios," are for sale, said Scrinium publishing house, which prints documents from the Vatican's secret archives. Each will cost $8,377, the publisher said Friday.What are they, hand-made illuminated manuscripts? Geez, I'll buy 'em a copy of Adobe Acrobat so they can PDF the thing.

Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Templars, was burned at the stake in 1314 along with his aides. An integral lesson in the Order of de Molay. I will say no more other than I was a proud member before becoming a Mason.
