Talk about a long legal dispute!

The Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ, which claims to be a descendant of the Knights Templar, are suing Pope Benedict over what they claim are about €100 billion in assets seized in 1307.

It appears that both Benedict and the Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ are both moving toward the rehabilitation of the order, though I am not sure how the lawsuit would aid in this process.

The Association claims that, “Their motive is not to reclaim damages only to restore the ‘good name’ of the Knights Templar.”

Methinks that someone has watch the latest Indiana Jones movie too many times.
