The Knights Templar are suing the Pope!

Pretty cool. They want their name restored and possibly several billion dollars in assets (and, I'm sure, interest) returned. Why do I get a feeling that this will go nowhere?

Hahaha, awesome.

It will go nowhere because the Vatican won't feel any need to actually comply with a judgment, will still consider the Templars to not have proper church standing, and will probably argue that the statute of limitations has long since passed. And that's all assuming a court doesn't laugh and throw it out.
