Knights Templar heirs in legal battle with the Pope

The heirs of the Knights Templar have launched a legal battle in Spain
to force the Pope to restore the reputation of the disgraced order which
was accused of heresy and dissolved seven centuries ago.

The Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ, whose
members claim to be descended from the legendary crusaders, have filed a
lawsuit against Benedict XVI calling for him to recognise the seizure of
assets worth 100 billion euros (£79 billion).

They claim that when the order was dissolved by his predecessor Pope
Clement V in 1307, more than 9,000 properties as well as countless
pastures, mills and other commercial ventures belonging to the knights
were appropriated by the church.

But their motive is not to reclaim damages only to restore the "good
name" of the Knights Templar.

"We are not trying to cause the economic collapse of the Roman Catholic
Church, but to illustrate to the court the magnitude of the plot against
our Order," said a statement issued by the self-proclaimed modern day
knights.
