Weren't the knights templar some sort of catholic operation?
and right there at the 40 second mark,
Year Established . . 1119
Founded by: . . . . . . .Hugues de Payens
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Godfrey de Saint-Omer
so I looked them up:
Hugues de Payens
Quote:
He organized the original nine monk-knights to defend pilgrims to the Holy Land in response to the call to action of Pope Urban II.

A papist toady. I won't link to the catholic encyclopædia but there's plenty of fawning to be found in there. Next:
Godfrey de Saint-Omer
Quote:
Godfrey of Saint-Omer, also known as Gaufred, Godefroi, or Godfrey de St Omer, was a Flemish knight, and one of the founding members of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon in c. 1118.

..which meant I also needed to look up "
Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" and sure enough
Quote:
Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church in the year 1129, the Templars became etc. etc.

Looking through a few sources all I got was
papism papism papism pope
pope pope you could almost smell the holy water
not to mention blasphemous nuns, Bible denying friars, lying priests & sozzled monks brainwashing children to coerce them, when adults, to fund their simony. Nevertheless, the temple knights did oppose marauding hordes who had their eyes on Europe and America which at this time was a Viking colony administered from Greenland so who knows? Did they prevent America from conversion to the false prophet? Were the savages spared from Mohammed so that the message of Salvation could one day be preached? Or did they open the doorway for popish adventures across the new world. An adventure requiring the declaration of independence in God's Name to dislodge. But even so, there still seem to be a lot of Romish idolators on the map.
Obviously I don't intrude opinions in my posts but am happy to post this map so others may decide for themselves or, preferably, ask the Pastors who will explain the correct position.
