The knights templers knew about discipline. Hard plight and serving others. Knew about call to pray, Rituals, steadfastness, stewardship. But they got mislead into a plight to recover relics. Also had riches they were guilty of plundering.
Knew about need for networking, developing communities . In the search for the Holy Grail, alongside Jews plus Saracen fighters. Had common role.
They succeeded eventually in restoring Jersulam. Although eventually retreated historically ended up in Valletta where the Auberge remained rich.
The biggest failure was in not being able to disconnect from Teachings of valour and majesty. Verses the principals of Kingdom building as taught on the sermon on the mount.
They are mislead into Battles, plenty of them. Costly wars many riches spent. Poor preparation. Plus willingness to follow weak biblical teachings. Leadership that was about power further domain.
Not Humble example of a risen Lord.
Mostly now they are unknown hidden mythical stories. But somewhere there is a kernel of truth still evident that something was vital. But this remains Lost perhaps the Christian message is going in that direction.
