Adding to the information that Pike provides, the English authors of The Hiram Key, Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas - both Masons - write about the Templars origin and purpose. According to them, the Templars discovered a secret in the ruins of the temple. This then changed their worldview; and from then on, they adopted un-Christian teachings. Their protection for pilgrims became a front behind which they hid their real intent and activities.
