They were Charged with Pagan Practices...
However, after two centuries of defending the Christian faith, the Order met its demise when Philip IV - known as Philip le Belle (the Fair) - sought to destroy the Templars.
Historians are generally in agreement that Philip was motivated by greed rather than his belief that the Templars were corrupt.
Regardless of his motivations, Philip had the Templars arrested on October 13, 1307.
The Templars were tortured and confessions were given. These confessions included:
Trampling and spitting on the cross
Homosexuality and Sodomy
Worshipping an idol
Philip was successful in ridding the Templars of their power and wealth and urged all fellow Christian leaders to do the same thing.
In 1312 the Templars were officially dissolved by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienne. Although the Templars were not found guilty of the crimes they were charged with, it was felt that the reputation of the Order had fallen to so low a state as to warrant dissolving the Order.
