Templar Order

Does it still exist? I have been reading a lot about Knights Templar and find their history very fascinating. Could the order still exist? I am aware of the The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta in the York rite of freemasonry but they do not claim to be a direct continuation of the original Knight Templar.

Could they still exist? Perhaps under a new name?

If anyone has information on the subject please do share.

Thank you.

The more I study them, I am not certain that if you felt like it, anyone could just call themselves a Templar either and make some order for it. It seems more like an Ethos than anything else.

Found this website but who knows.

If they don't exist, they will soon.

They do have nice music.

I remember listening to this song on repeat before visiting Turkey last month, I don't know why... Maybe some distant ancestral memory.

DEUS VULT!

Think they might still exist like most secret societies, couldn't be exactly sure just a hunch.

The Knights Templar were never secret, the only so called secret aspects are the ones that use them as a prop for various end of the world/Holy Grail/Body of Christ type storylines.

They were a sect within the Catholic Church and were dissolved centuries ago. If there are groups now calling themselves by the same name is neither here nor there - they aren't the 'real' Knights Templar.

Unless the order went into secrecy to avoid persecution

If the LORD Son of GOD JESUS is resurrected it seems logical some may also be...

No, it was a sect of the Catholic Church and the Catholic Church dissolved it. If you mean various individuals hid to avoid torture and death, I don't know, I know that I would if I was them, but the fact remains that the sect was dissolved.

Anything now called Knights Templar has no direct relationship - and of course seeing as their role was a lot more black and white than most conspiracy thrillers would have you believe, they wouldn't have that much of a purpose to continue to exist.

You should check out the works by Stephen Dafoe.

The original catholic order no longer exists, however the final degree of the York rite is called Knight Templar. What little of its symbolism available, has been incorporated into various themes. a reply to: Golantrevize

That's not strictly true though, the pope at the time issued a papal bull disbanding the order and calling for the arrest of the hierarchy on Friday 13th. The bull, however, only went to countries that were still part of the Catholic family, some were not; such as my home country of Scotland.

Many knights fled to countries that did not enact or have the papal bull, as such there is an ongoing history of the Templars to this day in those countries.
