(Templars = Temple of Solomon) a highly cognitive military institution (at the time) in

cultural terms. religious and for this successively "burning" and persecuted. Some may

perhaps smile thinking about the work of Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code, ironically

on a speech that could superficially be controversial; but the secretary of the

Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Monsignor Angelo Amato of the Holy Office,

then the highest Vatican authority, expressed himself at the forthcoming release of the

film in 2006, with a high level excommunication and the public incitement to boycott

as happened in bookstores at the previous exit of the book.

On this last aspect, perhaps the doubt arises because of the scope of this reaction to a
fiction rich in historical errors (according to the criticism of the Catholic world) and

based on baseless concepts, on which no institution created on a solid foundation, it

would give importance.

However, the canonized truth of only a part of some Gospels, which in their re-

elaboration counts for many "arrangements", cuts and montages, is historical (chapters

and verses are a secondary introduction to the original texts - systems introduced since

the XIII century with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Steven Langton and in the XVI by

the typographer Robert Estienne who reworked these systems already in use) that for

example made us believe that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute ... and not a disciple.

Already since 1965 and then repeatedly revalued, this defamation was justified by the

Church with the word "misunderstanding".

A high price to pay for a woman who is too close to Jesus ... a Jesus who is certainly not

comfortable with the traditional coherence built only on some pieces of truth. The

problem of continuity and recognition is a profane and common

approach to all the origins of Initiatic or religious doctrines and

traditions. We need to rediscover the true value with the study, but also

in the practice of perfectional refinement with its ancient rituals. It

wants a landing point, neutral but close to an Ancient Tradition, but

above all a point of union for a strong thought, that you speak clear, that

says what others do not say or dare not say; a chivalrous ethical response,

in modern times that defends the human and spiritual need to express
itself in reality, to implement with the use of a common will, the

inevitable reestablishment of order, through a great spiritual movement that digs its

origins in the mists of time: the courage to "be" true Knights and men of the future.
