Bernard of Clairvaux: 12th century

• Bernard of Clairvaux: In Praise of the New Knighthood: written early 12th century

I was studying when I found this about how the Knights Templar led into the Rosicrucians the Masons, and into the European Banking system and how originally the capital that was the basis of the European Banking system was looted from Jerusalem and that Area when the Knights Templar killed every man, woman and child (including Christians) that lived there so they could loot the city and brings the spoils back to europe which became the basis of the first banking system in Europe.

However, we find in Bernard of Clairvaux a Bishop and man of the cloth that wrote elegantly about Good Christian Men laying down their lives for Christianity as their duty and their joy.

What struck the the most about this point of view is how similar it is to Muslim men and women now making similar vows in defense of the Muslim religion by becoming terrorists killing Christians.

However, the beginnings of "Onward Christian Soldiers marching forth to war" started with Bernard Clairvaux and the Knights Templar. Without them Europe would all be Muslim now.

Even Vlad the Impaler was another one of these Christian Soldiers who succeeded in keeping Muslims from taking over Europe. And before this there were Great Men like El Cid in Spain who also was someone who helped drive the Muslims from Spain historically.

Without all these great men Europe would all be Muslim Countries today instead of now being some Muslims but majority Christians.

History is pretty amazing when you study it and see what actually happened the last 2 thousand years or so.
