The Knights Templar survived for centuries due to their financial acumen, extensive land holdings, and strong network of support among European monarchs and the Church. Their banking system allowed for the efficient transfer of funds and protection of assets, making them a vital financial institution in medieval Europe. Additionally, after their official dissolution in the early 14th century, many former Templars integrated into other orders or continued their activities under different guises, allowing their legacy to endure. Their mystique and legendary status have also perpetuated interest and speculation about their survival throughout history.
Yes, Templars are Christians.
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.
