The Militia Templi is a
Roman Catholic lay Community which is:
- A knight Order with a Christian
combative tradition;
- with reference to knightly
virtues;
- which draws strength from
the mysticism and the spirituality of Saint Bernard
of Clairvaux and refers to his writings, yet neither declares
nor claims a false, antihistorical and illegitimate direct
descent from the old Order;
- which has both married and
celibate consecrated members;
- whose purpose is the salvation
of the soul by means of prayer, the holy Sacraments and
the spirit of Knighthood;
- which fully accomplishes its
Christian ideals through the service to the Church and to it's neighbour;
- which in our surrounding materialistic
society defends and spreads traditional Christian and human values;
- which defends and maintains
the Latin Liturgical Tradition, the treasure of the Church;
