Dear Stanley,
If you accept that the transformation is continuation would it not follow
that only knights of the Papal/Portugal order could claim any kind of
legitimate decent from the Templars? Only the Knights, of which they are
none, and the Spanish orders, founded under Papal protection could call
themselves Templar descendants?
Is there any claim to Scot or Masonic orders that show a decent from
Templar and an agreement by the Pope. The changeling must include some
recognisable part of the original.
