Militia del Tempio (Ordine dei Poveri Cavalieri di Cristo)

Il Castello della Magione di Poggibonsi (Siena).

Militia Templi Christi Pauperum Militum Ordo: Grand Master and Chaplain.

A real treat to visit their Domus Magistralis called the Magione, near Siena, in the footsteps of the crusaders.

  2. I understand something about this Order, but was wondering if some of them are actually monks that live in community, celebrate the Tridentine Latni Mass, etc. I've seen photos of some of them, and they indeed look like monks trying to restore this Order.

    Their Liturgical Practice is the Extraordinary Form including the recitation of the Breviary. Apart from the many self proclaimed Knights Templar out there, they are the only one that has a true and legitimate claim for its restoration and existence today since their constitutions and rule of life are approved by the See of Sienna. Below is a link that answers all your questions. Look also in the comments of that post.
