Gotcha. Thx bro
Since there is no direct link between the Freemasons and the Templars, any response to that would be pure speculation.I second that. Being on this forum has truly expanded my thoughts on our favorite subject. As I briefly stated elsewhere, the Vatican papers that clear the knights of heresy, I gained that info. Here. Although I always wondered how you can take a mans word as gospel when he is tortured, I had reservations. I'm good now. So, I state this with no allusion of authority.. Does the s&b also refer to how the Templars buried their dead?
http://www.masonicinfo.com/faq.htm#Templars and http://www.masonicinfo.com/templars.htm . Not being a Sir Knight presently, I have no first hand knowledge of the organization, and I fully admit that. The two links I provided, explain briefly one theory as to why the common name.Wow really? Of course you know what's coming. What is the reason for calling the chapter in the York Rite Knights Templar?
Remember though, the Templar's were the guardians of the Church at the time, the Masons were the stone workers. There is nothing, currently, pointing to The Masons having been created from the Templar's though.There is evidence that the Templar's employed the operative masons in church building
