The 'Processus contra Templarios' is the faithful reproduction of four parchments which are recorded 38 minutes of questioning to the monk-warriors. Bishop Pagano:''He has no desire nor celebratory and rehabilitation''of the Order of the Temple. Rome, October 25 (Adnkronos / Adnkronos Culture) - This is not a discovery. Thus, the prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives, Monsignor Sergio Pagano, began presenting the volume "Processus contra Templarios" clear the field by some inaccuracies press reports in recent days. ''It is the third issue of a series called 'Exemplaria Praetiosa' - he explained -''opened in 2000 and continues today with a publication that has''no intention''of celebration, let alone rehabilitation of the Order of the Temple .
is also "completely accidental," the fact that this year, marks the seventh centenary of the beginning of the trial of the Templars. The publication contains within it the most faithful reproduction of four scrolls, whose sum total length of 5 feet and they were recorded 38 minutes of questioning.
The first three documents relate investigation pope on the Order of the Templars held in Poitiers, and constitute the surviving examples of a corpus of five original parchment rolls. The fourth parchment document is the most important and around which focuses the interest of scholars and fans of each other. It was only in 2001 and reinvent the original act of absolution granted by the plenipotentiaries of the cardinals, Pope Clement V at the Temple of the Grand Master Jacques de Molay and other dignitaries Templars imprisoned in the castle of Chinon, which takes its name from the parchment.
The document in question, in fact, had already been surveyed in the catalogs for the first time in 1628 and again in 1912. However, only six years physically ago has reappeared, thanks to research by Barbara Frale, the Vatican Secret Archives official. "The great thing - he said the archaeologist and author Valerio Massimo Manfredi - is the definitive publication of these documents, it would be a wonderful film, I have also spoken with De Laurentis, who has expressed interest in principle. It 'a drama of momentous proportions, almost apocalyptic, with a dramatic conclusion to a huge and a duel to the last shot and deception between a French king and a pope. "
The trial of the Templars in fact took place almost entirely during the period of the "Avignon captivity" he saw, after clashes between the papacy and the French monarchy, the Archbishop of Bordeaux, Bertrand de Got, ascend the papal throne as Clement V moved the papal seat from Rome to Avignon was 1309. Five years later, March 18, 1314, "died at the stake Jaques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Order of the Temple - said Barbara Frale - with a conviction for heresy, although he had been previously acquitted by the pontificates. A chronicler of the version reported that, before he died he called the King of France and Pope Clement V to the court of God. "
It is from this episode would have created "the endless legends" the story of the Templars, also favored by the "great loss of documents in a trial lasting seven years - said the Frale - who was also a huge international intrigue in which they met the Church's authority and that of the king of France and other secular rulers eager to dismantle the Order of the Temple, now a kind of fossil of the time of the Crusades. " Unlike the writers of fantasy, "historians have played in the fall, denying the guilt of the Templars."
The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between, and their acceptance of their accountability to the pope and the context of repentance dignitaries of the order determined their acquittal, documented in the Parchment of Chinon. "It 's that the contents of the parchment and it is really surprising that it was always kept from the time of Clement V and the papal archive already surveyed in 1628 and later in a detailed catalog of 1912, while passing unnoticed to scholars. Perhaps they were "detecting" a series of events, including the Frale cites authoritative studies Scottmuller, "who did not recognize the real importance of that investigation, mistaking it for the diocesan investigation of the many celebrated in France" . Frale the other hand, was suspicious of the presence among the judges of Berenger Fredol, nephew of the pope and his right arm and "the most important man of the College of Cardinals."
The intervention of such an authority could only be justified by the importance of the condition, involving the heads of the Order and would termionata with their acquittal. From this event comes a new figure of Clement V, usually seen as the "chaplain of Philip the Fair." "The Order of the Temple is a piece of the Church of Rome. The pope could not agree who was to steal goods from utilizzatre destroyed in a war against another sovereign Catholic king of England was impossible. Clement V underwent the trial of the Templar Order, which in reality was sacrificed to prevent the opening of a schism that would lead to the formation of the Church of France. "
