I give up. Maybe I'm the only person here who dislikes seeing ignorance like that displayed and not challenged.

Dawn, I take it you didn't read his post when he said:

The initiator of the thread asked about the medieval crusading military orders, not about Moslems in the 21st century whose heads are in medieval times."
That is the ignorance I was tackling. I already asked him to create a thread to defend his mind bogging ignorance. |
Denis, do you have ADD? Did you forget what you wrote? Your the first one who mentioned Iraq.

Please re-read the post, Denis. Where was anything said about 'darned terrorists?'
If you misquote people and hijack threads on AE you will get into trouble. Just some advice.

The demise of the Templars reflects in a way the end of the Crusades. With the fall of Acre, 1291, there could be no more pretense of Europeans recovering the Holy Land.
For some of the Orders, that originated because of the crusading efforts in the Levant, there was less reason to exist. For others (St.John, Hospitalers), there was still purpose. And the Orders in Spain and Portugal, and in east Europe were still viable.
The Templars had amassed wealth and become rather exclusive and aloof from other nobility and also somewhat from the Papacy. The need of France's king for money, and the collusion of the puppet Pope (in Avignon) was a confluence of interests that caused the end of Templar influence, 1307.
The charges of heresy and all that were mostly trumped up.

Pikeshot has provided you a key to the problem of unlocking the riddle. And he is correct, if you want to know why the Templar demise was promulgated, look at the extremely close relationship between the then King of France, Phillip the Fair and his hand picked Pope and close friend, Pope Clement V.
This coupled with their legendary near autonomy, from secular control, granted by the establishing papal bull, reference their order, (Which provided a basis for the amass of wealth and power.) is the key....
