So as a young man who regards his Catholic faith with fiery zeal I began to look around in the history of the Knights Templar. Unfortunately I can only find liberal pages that say the confessions of sodomy were legitimate despite the use of torture.
So I am inquiring about any good reads on the topic that are untainted by the grubby fingers of liberalism.

Pope Clement V issued 12 Infallible Bulls( which have never been rescinded) in condemnation Of KT. Are you calling him a liberal? :confused1:

Well more specifically I delve into the internet looking for info and I find that most of the links provided are well known liberal outlets (such as Wikipedia). If I recall clement the 5th was elected due to the artful manipulation of the king of France King Phillip IV, who was after the Templars fabled wealth. Not to mention Clement did release a public statement doubting these confessions that were being collected by French interrogators. I'm just having a hard time believing that an order of Catholic knights who would chant Psalms before battle would partake in sodomy. But do not mistake my intent on starting this article. I merely wish to find out more about the Templars and find out whether or not the accusations are true.

I just find the whole story shady and I would rather search for the truth. Thus I come to a Traditional Catholic forum for answers. I know Catholic Answers has something discussing the topic but they also have gαy Catholics on their board as well so I just avoid the website entirely.
