Excerpt from The Absolution Formula of the Templars
To understand it rightly, we must bear in mind that the members of the Military Orders were monks, subject to all the rules and entitled to all the privileges of monachism. To appreciate their relations to the great subject of the sac rament of penitence, we must, therefore, consider what, at the date of their foundation, were the customs of the re ligious Orders, as well as what were the teachings of the Church with regard to confession and absolution, and we can then estimate how far Clement V. Was justified in including this among the charges for which the Order was destroyed.

The author traces the evolution of the sacrament of penance from its origins to the time of the trial, highlighting key developments and controversies. By examining the religious practices and beliefs of the Templars, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between monastic customs, papal authority, and the emerging sacramental system.
