Order Of Knights Templar

Every time I see the plural term "Knights Templar," I can't help but think of Albert Mackey. I have read his entire Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, and at one point he spends what seems like eight pages explaining why the term should be "Knights Templars" to be grammatically correct. LOL!

Is it related to the historic Knight's Templars?

People WISH there to be a historical connection. No such connection has ever been established.

Was the Holy Roman Empire related to the historic Roman Empire? The old Empire had fallen. The new empire was built in deliberate emulation. With the Order of Knights Templar the relationship is weaker than that between the two groups named Roman Empire.

I was inducted into the Order of the Temple on Feb 11th. It is an amazing ritual. Went through the whole YR with another brother from my lodge. Our ritual was given to us by a GWB award and KYCH recipient. He lost his wife in November and got choked up on some of the ritual. Everyone there understood why and gave him his time. That is something that I will never ever forget.
