Dear Knight, she is known as a leading expert on Italian history of the Templars. How many years dealing with this matter?
have now gone over 33 years, ever since I read the first book on the Templars, "The burning of the Templars" by Georges Bordonove. In fact since I started my research, documentation increasingly going to see "visually" sites and the remains of what has come to us from those times of high spirituality, glorious and unique, and consulting several books, Italian or otherwise, libraries and archives of public and private institutions.
In his view, what are the most reliable and credible historians tell those who want to approach this subject?
Georges Bordonove Besides, just mentioned, and especially Alain Laurent Dailliez Demurger. Do not neglect the Cibrario, Gaetano Lamattina and the monumental work on the processes of Jules Michelet.
What texts recommend?
For a quick and correct knowledge, "The Templars" by Laurent Dailliez, "The tragedy of the Templars" by Georges Bordonove and "The Life and Death of the Knights Templar" by Alain Demurger.
What are the most common errors about the Templars ?
- religious syncretism, not knowing that they fought militarily the enemies of Christ;
- precursors of Freemasonry, forgetting their integral Catholicism;
- idol worshipers or so-called "baphometto", being androgino, condensato di conoscenza occidentale e orientale pre-cristica, che è soltanto un'invenzione del rinascimento;
- ideatori di un nuovo sistema di vita politico-sociale, economico-finanziario ed anche religioso, ignorando che essi erano frati (oratores), ma soprattutto cavalieri (bellatores) di Cristo e per questo combattevano, senza concedere quartiere ai Suoi nemici. Ed in Suo Nome morivano, ricevendo il meritato riposo per aver combattuto la buona battaglia;
- sopravvivenza dell’Ordine del Tempio dopo la sua soppressione del 1312, dimenticando che da buoni cristiani e ferventi cattolici ubbidirono all’ordine imperativo del Vicario of Christ, who had sworn "Fidelitas oboedientia iusque et ad mortem, thus entering into other contracts or simply returning to lay life;
- custodians of the" sapienzalità Templar ", a concentration of Gnosticism, Cathars, philosophies Eastern and other such absurdities.
think that these errors stem from a lack of knowledge of the subject or is there more?
I think both assumptions are valid.
and because some writers, no papers the actual performance of the Knights, were inspired by the theories formulated in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment or during the time of the birth of positivism, relativism and modernism.
and because, others have ridden the theory of so-called "revenge of the Templars" and Triario against the Crown, enhancing, in a predetermined way, the conspiracy theory voted, in a purely populist themes, to the formation "of 'New Man "in a" New World Order. "
What about "Italian" on the studies of the Temple?
serious scholars and researchers, both academic and self-learners are very few. We can quote Franco Cardini, Barbara Frale, Simonetta Cerrini, Fulvio Bramato. Then there are the members of LARTI point, the Free Association of Italian Researchers Templars. Among these, I recall with particular pleasure the White Capone, Enzo Valentini and Loredana Imperio.
writers instead test themselves without preparation, without having carried out serious research are endless. In this category are "novels" that melody to the "mystery" of the Templars and their treasure, the most outlandish theories suggest. Then there are the so-called "Templar researchers to trace," which see them and are also where the knights are never in the past, interpreting graffiti, drawings, sculptures and artefacts, matching and esoteric symbolism that was not the prerogative of the Knights Templar.
The question many are asking is that on a possible continuation of the order after 1312. What do you think?
Since that date there have been some characters (but not always exclusively religious and Catholics) who, inspired by the life pattern of the Knights Templar, have established similar organizations with different name.
Going a ritroso nella storia, si noterà che ogni volta che la Chiesa di Cristo aveva bisogno di "frati-combattenti" essi apparivano, dimostrando che, in estrema riservatezza, esistevano ed operavano "a maggior gloria di Dio".
In "due parole", chi erano i Templari?
Erano uomini che avevano rinunciato agli agi del mondo, vivendo esclusivamente in funzione della morte terrena per la vita eterna, avendo giurato fedeltà a Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo ed al Suo Vicario in terra, il Sommo Pontefice. Essi non potevano essere altro che cristiani cattolici, in quanto appartenenti alla vera Chiesa di Cristo, che è quella Romana e quindi Latina. Basta leggere il famosissimo "Ego Promitto…", uno dei pochissimi documenti veramente autentici che sono sopravvissuti ai roghi e alle distruzioni, per capire chi erano i Templari.
Esistono dei santi templari?
Esistono molti eroi templari.
Cosa ne pensa della dichiarazione di Barbara Frale a proposito della Sindone, probabilmente detenuta dai Templari?
Alla dottoressa Frale va il riconoscimento per le sue ricerche e puntualizzazioni storiche.
La Santa Sindone è stata certamente portata in occidente dai Templari, per il semplice motivo che essi erano "Commilitones Christi" e quindi avevano il diritto di possederla, in quanto difensori della Terra Santa e delle reliquie di Nostro Signore, in nome e per conto di Santa Romana Chiesa. Va altresì evidenziato che erano i più grandi esperti di reliquie dell’epoca.
E del famoso documento di Chinon?
Alla Frale il merito per il suo grande lavoro ma, direi, tanto rumore per nulla. Difatti, the usual incompetent have been praised to discover (sic) of a "pardon" the Pope, but do not read.
the Chinon document, already known by insiders, as published in the 20s of last century, is indeed an act of forgiveness, but only after the sacrament of Confession. The Church forgives but the crime is punished anyway, if there is. But this gives yet another debate.
We have heard of this new initiative. What about the CREST and above what are the goals?
CREST is an acronym for STUDIES AND RESEARCH CENTER OF TRADITION. This organization aims to do research on the whole tradition, to reinforce the values \u200b\u200band pass them on to future generations.
