It gave education to the knights and other school people!!!
There was a need for the Church to find a way to tolerate knights in good conscience and for the knights to pursue their livelihood in "spiritual comfort." Such a code would put a knight in the service of the Church.

No.
Knights were under their lords, they went to war for the lords, and in return they were rewarded land, so that they could earn money for their armor and weapons... The knights were religious, and would pay monks to do all their praying for them, which made the church very wealthy, not only strengthening the church, but also expanding it. The church itself was already having a major impact on society as it was, and the knights having given so much money to the church (which people looked to the church for hope) was making the church less and less as important in peoples lives, and the monks themselves were becoming corrupt by all the money they were making.
The knights in the country of Switzerland used to try to protect Christianity and Christian leaders a long time ago.
The Catholic Encyclopedia has a good article on the Knights Templars. The link is below this answer, under "related links."

The only relation between the Knights Templar and the Knights of Columbus are that both organizations are/were approved by the Catholic church, members must be Catholic, and they both use the word Knight. There are no organizations that can legitimately claim the heritage through ancestry to the original order. The order was disband by the church. The Order of the Knights of Malta are the closest in relation and other organizations with the titles of the Knights Templar only do so out of honour and respect.

The Knights of Columbus did not exist in 1667.
No, that is not a true statement.
