I'm not sure but I think it exposes the power struggle between the French king and the Knights Templars with the former insisting on the Vatican to declare the Knights Templars "heretics" because the French King owned them a lot of money and didn't want to give it back. Vatican agreed at the end relectantly.

By "Vatican" I meant to say the former Papal State.

The recently released Vatican documents also reveal my, now not so secret because of the bloody Vatican, past with the Knights Templar h34r:

In all seriousness though i dont think there is any sort of conspiracy theory behind the releasing of these documents, or is there? h34r:

Your past with the Knights templars?

Edit: I don't think there's anything "interesting" going on with the Knights Templars, except for the fact that they got to travel to distant places, meet with exotic people (and killed them) and ended up as extremely rich and powerful loan sharks.

Unfortunately for them, it was feudalism back then and money couldn't buy their lives when they are up against both "Lord Temporal" and "Lord Spiritual".


I think by releasing the document the Vatican just wanted to "rebuttal" all the conspiracy theories regarding Knights templar.
