The Definition of “Mixed Blessing”
The Good News:
Congratulations, Knights Templar! You’ve been cleared of heresy charges by the Catholic Church!
The Bad News:
This exoneration comes 700 years after you were burned at the stake. Whoops, sorry!
The Ridiculous:
The Vatican will be selling reproductions of the documents from the Templar trial for $8,377 per copy. I know what I want for Christmas!
The Even More Ridiculous:
“Descendants” of the original Templars are demanding a public apology from the Pope.
Are you serious? It took these people almost 800 years to apologize for the Inquisition, and 459 years to admit that the Earth does, indeed, orbit the sun. And you think they’re gonna say sorry to your dumb asses?
In a related story, after reading the decidedly banal and non-mystical first hand accounts of the Templar trial, Dan Brown was seen weeping hysterically over a pile of cancelled book contracts.
