The Italian chapter of the Knights Templar is seeking a Vatican apology for he suppression of the order in the 14th century and the execution of its leader, Jacque de Molay.
Although it was King Philip IV of France who put de Molay to death, the current head of the order, Walter Grandis, claims “an enormous degree of complicity” on the part of the Vatican. “This was an appalling crime and a miscarriage of justice that the Church allowed to happen,” he said.
