In the before times, the Crusade knights including the Templars and Teutonic were deemed heretics by the Pope and were ambushed and leaders killed by orders of the Pope.
Were they heretics or did the Pope hide his heretical ways?
It's heresy to call the pope a heretic in Catholicism.

Well they kicked me out so I get to do what I want
How were you kicked out?
The templars were secret gnostics. I dont know if they were founded as that or something they discovered in or near the ruins of Solomon's temple or people there. I suspect it went gnostic when they took up the name of templar, but whether it began that way with the small bands of knights I dont know.
When discovered it was suppressed. They were involved in banking, but I think this is overplayed by people trying to mislead into tying it into Jewish money conspirscy theories. I think the same for the protocols, some truths, mixed with lies, to get people looking at Jews.
When they were disbanded some went to Scotland, and influenced the Freemasons.
Yes they were heretics, but its for you to decide who is right.
The true origin of freemasond as organized was an early professional labor like union, to reduce oppression. It later took on mystical significance with templar influence and make the society today. The templars were monks, and knights, they took vows of poverty and didnt use their wealth. The banking system was a rival to the nobles dominance thru hereditary farm land. Historic freemasonry was involved in the French and American revolutions overthrowing dynastic wealth. Modern freemasonry is a corrupted networking club supporting the elite. This is how the templars really died. Killing them had them survive in freemasonry, the real solution was to corrupt them from within.
The Cathars were gnostic. Uniquely in Cathar lands inheritance was split up amongst children, rather then to the oldest male. This worked to slowly destroy dynastic wealth.
Although the Catholic church today is largely a cub, not a lion. A place where ascetics can still join monk orders, a place of charity. Unlike thr templars bastard child freemasonry.
Legend has it a test as you got near the top of the knights templars was they asked you to vow secrecy for what they did next. After that they told you to spit on a cross and said they werent Christian.

Continuing.
Those that spat on the cross were varred from going any higher. They were deemed as corrupt, willling to abandon their God, custom, and morals to advance towards command of the most elite, powerful, and holder of wealth at the time. This was to prevent subversion from within, to prevent from infiltration.
Sadly stories of blasphemy came from disgraced members who failed the various test. Being the sort who would renounce God for power they would lie and say the Templars didnt employ such things as testsx but were really unChristian.
It is true, at the top they werent traditional Christians, but gnostics, but they very much were aiming to fulfill the basic tenets of Christs message of love.

I bet the pope made that rule and not God.
Anymore templar theories???
>>18799282
Heretics, Hera, Hermes. They came for the European Wizards. Some even betrayed their own.

Explain Baphomet, please.
>>18802808
The Baphomet. The Pan. The Satyr. The Satan. Those that came into knowing that the Gods of the Hermetic Order were still alive and hiding in the mantle of the other star. The war between Olympus and the Titans evolved.
>>18802818
the other star being Saturn?

To see without seeing.
The morning star. The brightest of all the angels.
