Description from the publisher: The Order of the Knights Templars has its roots in the crusades. To some extent, we had explored it in our previous works, The New Masonic Order (1995) and Global Freemasonry (2002). This order was originally founded to fight for Christianity, but over time-as the Templars acquired immense power, adopted heretical teachings, and established a capitalist system based on material gain, their order fell afoul of the Church.

Rumors circulating about the Templars led to years of investigations, revealing that the order was blasphemous and that it performed black magic rituals, similar to today’s satanic sects. The order was subsequently declared unlawful. The Knights’ liquidation and arrest arose from a joint decision by the French King and the Pope. Some historians regard the Templars’ trial and subsequent liquidation as one of the most significant social events of the Middle Ages.

Ironically, the truly interesting part of the Knights Templars Saga began only after the order was liquidated. According to the generally accepted view, the order went underground, developing a deep animosity for monotheistic religions and the Church in particular and, in the long-term, transmuted into the organization known today as Freemasonry. The Masons’ antireligious philosophy and involvement in revolutions and political movements is a consequence of their Templars ancestry.

In other words, the Knights Templars still survive in the present, under the name of Freemasonry. Those who reach the highest degrees of Masonry are granted Templar-inspired titles such as “Guardian of the Temple.” In the United States, some lodges that convene under the name of the Knights Templar are affiliated with Masonry. Masonry, on the other hand, continues the Templars’ foremost tradition of opposing religion, as well as being actively avaricious, now and again relying on extra-legal methods.
