According to legend, he (Jacques de Molay) called out from the flames that both Pope Clement and King Philip would soon meet him before God. Pope Clement died only a month later, and King Philip died in a hunting accident before the end of the year.

Seems like the Knights Templar got their apology.

In the meantime, the current Pope could revoke the following:

Pastoralis Praeeminentiae November 22, 1307 Instructed all Christian monarchs in Europe to arrest all Templars and seize their assets.

Vox in excelso Which officially dissolved the Order

Ad providam Turned over most Templar assets to the Hospitallers (with a generous "commission" to Philip IV).

The Vatican is understood to have given serious consideration to the request for an apology. It has previously apologised formally for the persecution of Galileo and for the Crusades.

Why revoke what can’t be rovoked? There is no Templar Order today so there’s no reason to “revoke” this.

“Vox in excelso Which officially dissolved the Order”

Again, same problem.

“Ad providam Turned over most Templar assets to the Hospitallers (with a generous “commission” to Philip IV).”

Again, same problem.
