I do believe that a “Papal Apology” is in order.

The King of France trumped up charges against the Knights Templar, to get out of his debts.

That some “sins” were discovered among the Knights? Really? Who would NOT “admit” to sinful behavior during torture?

The Pope was NOT in charge of arresting the Templar Knights, and the Pope, at the time, did not find that the Knights were guilty of heresy.

Still, they way they were treated was just wrong, and the Church, at the time, should have done more.

“Friday the 13th” is the day the Templars were first arrested, by the King of France.

So now we know. The pope ordered the king of France to extrminated the Templars for their money and the shroud
