The only Templar Orders we as Sovereign Knight Templars members of SKT-SMOTJ(C),and IFA-OCMTH(R)TM. Recognise are our own Sovereign Orders members here in UK, and all others Worldwide under our elected M.M, P.R. Grand Master, Luis Roseira. These are the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem,SMOTJ under our Grand Master elected in September 2008 in Portugal as our Prince Regent, Grand Master, SAE Luis Roseira. Also the IFA-OCMTH(R)TM Orders. None of these other self created Orders have any connection to, or are part of, nor associated with either of our dual organisations under our elected P.R. Grand Master SAE Luis Roseira, Based in Oporto,Portugal. Congratulations also to our SMOTJ members in Portugal on their recent service in March 2009 re-establishing the Grand Priory of Portugal which had collapsed under the reign of Fernando Fontes, and their Decision to no longer be known as, or associated with the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Heirosolymitani (OSMTH)Regency Name. We no longer use this name it was brought into gross disrepute by past members, and non members. Also by persons not even OSMTH(Regency)members but had forged OSMTH(Regency)Papers that carried Fontes seal and signature in black ink,but unless signed in red they are forgeries this confirmed by Fontes own Edict on this matter. When it was brought to his attention. Currently there are ex members of the self created Association of Knight Templars,OSMTH(Regency) or International Association of Knight Templars OSMTH (Regency)they are not Fontes members, nor even under his authority since September 2008. They are continuing to falsely claim they are OSMTH(Regency) members under the retired Mr Fontes who now resides in Spain. We wish it to be known that we have no associations with these people, or the false Order/s Associations, or their false claims etc, they are now creating, since most of their senior members are known freemasons.
Time has brought us all as practicing Ecumenical Christian's closer together. Therefore let us deal, with the main problem. As far as we are concerned. We are an Ecumenical Christian, Non Masonic Order who totally refute, and deny any involvement, or links with any of these other self created false OSMTH Orders within and outwith Scotland?
Finally let us clarify one very simple truth, Roslin Chapel is a Christian Church built by Roman Catholics for the Worship of the Lord Jesus Christ, not for any other false Ungodly Religion? It was built as a Catholic Collegiate Church about 150 years after the decline of the Knight Templar Order. It was paid for by the Devout Catholic St Clair, and the Erskine family, who were not even Knight Templars, they had no esoteric Secret Templar Knowledge either. It was never built as a Masonic Shrine. We also like others in Scotland deplore the Desecration of Roslin Chapel, and any other Chapel, or Church premises, by these so called Templars. The De Vinci Code book, is as stated by its writer Dan Brown a work of Fiction. We have proved this is a fact when you check these false Templar claims out.
Membership of our Order is restricted to practicing Christians only. Pagans, Freemasons, and ex Freemasons are banned from ever joining our ranks.
We encourage and direct our own members to do active voluntary unpaid Christian work amongst the homeless, the sick, the dying. Also devotion to Jesus Christ, whose Soldiers and Servants we all are. As The Knight Templars of old fought for what they saw as Christian Ideals. So today as Knights of SMOTJ, and as Christian Templars we must all strive to maintain high ideals, morals and ethics in an ever increasing Secular and Ungodly Pagan World. We also uphold the Right of all Christians/Non Christians of Religious Freedom Worlwide, and oppose maltreatment of Christians/Non Christians by any Government/s. We ask all Ecumenical Christians/Non Christians to adopt this Policy of Religious Freedom for all. This as a basic Human Right in all your own Countries.
We unlike all others have attained recognition as a Christian Ecumenical Non Masonic Order. This approach was done before the 1960's and again in 1979 in Rome we were there as OICMTH members, this under Canon Johanes Becker of the Vatican, we there as the SOVEREIGN MILITARY ORDER OF THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM, SMOTJ, in our French name. Also again in April 2005 in Rome, with our fellow Ecumenical Christian Brother, Sisters of the Non Masonic Federations, from Malta, and Italy. It was also done earlier in 1994 under the current Head of the IFA-OCMTH. As a result of these earlier and continuing meetings with the Orthodox and Catholic Church authorities, on 30/11/2000, a Bulletin was issued by the Vatican Press Office naming; Archbishop Latham, Melekite Greek Catholic Orthodox Church, as the New Melekite Catholic Patriarch of Jerusalem. His title Gregory 111. As Charta 2000 members from September 2006, we are accepted members, part of the IFA-OCMTH, who fully support the Church's Organisation of Ecumenical Christian Non Masonic Knight Templar Orders under our Catholic Patriarch. We also fully support the SMOTJ, Worldwide Grand Priories of our elected 51st Prince Regent, M.M. SAE Luis Roseira. Our Orders of the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, also the SKT-SMOTJ,and the IFA-OCMTH(R)TM, World Wide members.The accepted Orders of the Vatican; SMOM, KHS. The Papal Sacred Constantinian Order of St George only.
