God's Army for Sale: The Night a King Destroyed the Knights Templar - On March 22, 1312
Download MP3On March 22, 1312, Pope Clement V officially dissolved the Knights Templar but a document buried in the Vatican Archives for 693 years proves he had already declared them innocent. This episode examines the real machinery behind the Templars' destruction: institutional power, fabricated charges, a compromised oversight body, and a legal process engineered to produce a predetermined verdict. It's a medieval story with an architecture that never quite goes away.
