Vatican paper set to clear Knights Templar

"The mysteries of the Order of the Knights Templar could soon be laid bare after the Vatican announced the release of a crucial document which has not been seen for almost 700 years.

A new book, Processus contra Templarios, will be published by the Vatican's Secret Archive on Oct 25, and promises to restore the reputation of the Templars, whose leaders were burned as heretics when the order was dissolved in 1314.

The Knights Templar were a powerful and secretive group of warrior monks during the Middle Ages. Their secrecy has given birth to endless legends, including one that they guard the Holy Grail."

I find it really interesting that the information was found by a female professor, who found it misfiled in a completely different area of the library under 17th Century stuff.

And more than likely found in a cellar, in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

This sure is interesting, thank you. I like this green color of your blog =)
I'm really looking forward to see what information they present about the Knights Templar.

Finally, some of the brotherhood shall rest in peace vindicated in their honor.

Indeed. May their souls rest easier in the honour they deserved
