Jacques de Molay citáty

Jacques de Molay bol nižší francúzsky šľachtic, ktorý sa stal 23. a oficiálne posledným veľmajstrom rytierskeho rádu Templárov. Pred ním túto funkciu zastával veľmajster Thibaud Gaudin. 13. októbra 1307 bol zatknutý a neskôr postavený pred inkvizičný súd.

Po oficiálnom zrušení rádu pápežskou bulou Vox in Excelso v roku 1312 ho 18. marca 1314 vo vykonštruovanom procese odsúdili za kacírstvo, čarodejníctvo a ďalšie zločiny na doživotie. Nato svoje priznanie, vynútené mučením, odvolal a ešte v ten deň bol na príkaz francúzskeho kráľa Filipa IV. upálený.

Podľa legendy veľmajster Jacques de Molay tesne pred svojou smrťou preklial francúzskeho kráľa Filipa IV., ministra i pápeža Klementa V. a všetkých povolal, aby sa do roka a do dňa zodpovedali zo svojich činov pred Božím súdom. Všetci traja prekliati zomreli ešte v ten istý rok. Wikipedia

Jacques de Molay

Before he died it is said that he cursed both King Phillip and Pope Clement V, summoning them before God, the Supreme Judge, before the year was over.

“It is just that, in so terrible a day, and in the last moments of my life, I should discover all the iniquity of falsehood, and make the truth triumph. I declare, then, in the face of heaven and earth, and acknowledge, though to my eternal shame, that I have committed the greatest crimes but it has been the acknowledging of those which have been so foully charged on the order. I attest - and truth obliges me to attest - that it is innocent! I made the contrary declaration only to suspend the excessive pains of torture, and to mollify those who made me endure them. I know the punishments which have been inflicted on all the knights who had the courage to revoke a similar confession; but the dreadful spectacle which is presented to me is not able to make me confirm one lie by another. The life offered me on such infamous terms I abandon without regret.”
