The Templars were formed after the First Crusade as a body of knights charged with prosecuting the crusades, and with living morally upright lives in the service of their church. So unpopular was that second qualification in the Middle Ages that the core of the Templars was only nine knights. The number slowly increased until, in 1128, they were incorporated as a monastic order with the usual three vows. By 1200, they were so rich and loose in morals that a contemporary jibe for heavy drinking was "He drinks like a Templar." Their wealth increased through the same ruse the Jews used to circumvent the Church law against lending money at interest — the original meaning of usury. The party only came to an end when the Templars became so corrupt and so powerful that Philip, at the urging of Pope Clement V, had to extinguish them.
Lets hope the Pope doesn't admit that he wants to bring them back!

This was mentioned in Kingdom Of Heaven a movie of The Crusades. This would make an excellent horror film. The story could be told that every October 13th a doorway into time is opened and people can see these events through the doorway and the eyes of those in the future met those of The Past and ever after a Crusade was launched through the doorway every October 13th

Yes, that was when Jacques de Molay and a great number of Templars were killed by the French king Phillip IV on October 13, 1307 so that the king could get access to the Templars treasury. The king made up lies about their initiation rites to cast doubt on the order because he wanted their money.

All that is grand, but more importantly its two days before my birthday. That is truly worthy of a Vatican announcement.

So the significance of the day is that something didn't happen.
Well, a very merry Unbirthday to you.
