@steelfirehawk said in Tell us something interesting:
okay so the origins of the unlucky day of Friday the 13th you may not know this. So many years ago the Pope hired a legion of criminals (knights templar) to pursue holy relics, and guard his followers when they traveled promising them freedom if they served him by the sword. Well eventually the Templar got very wealthy even self sufficient. They became a threat! So on Friday the 13th the king of the time, and the Pope baited them all into their keep, and locked them in when they arrived. they proceeded to torture them to confess terrible things so badly that even if these accusations were not true just confessing to end the suffering was all they wanted, and of course this kind of thing was a very wicked attempt to condemn their souls! You wouldn't believe some of the things the Popacy is really guilty of
Now be very careful, most of what you're saying are full blown conspiracy theories. The templars were not a legion of criminals. In fact they were european noblemen. Their aim was not to pursue holy relics, it was to protect pilgrims in the holy land. They were a combination of monks (living in poverty, serving the poor) and knighthood. The pope had nothing to do with their foundation. They were recognized by the patriarch of jerusalem.
But they did rose to power over a few centuries, and the french king pressured the pope to put an end to them, because he felt the pope was getting to powerful, since the order worked under the pope. They were accused of being gay. And thus abolished.
