The Knights Templars worked for the Vatican. As all knightly orders did. They were commissioned by the Vatican directly.
From the looks of his website, the International Order of Gnostic Templars is one guy and his wife, selling degrees, making videos, and offering tours of the "sacred" places in Europe.

Given all the suspisions non masons have in regards to masonry, don't you thinks it's like the fox guarding the hen house thingy?
IF, and I say again in caps. IF masonry is what some believe. who's to say that you making enquiries, based on his personal details, wouldn't lead to something more nefarious, even if this was done without your knowledge or understanding???
You said you wouldn't disclose their details, but you didn't say to whom.
How else do you verify membership?
This is how you define ferocious? Please! Pointing out obvious inconsistencies and impossibilities hardly qualifies as "ferocious" is the normal person's lexicon.

Care to define normal for us too?
Well, judging by his jewel and apron, he's the tiler of his lodge. Yeah. That old guy is the one guarding the door against anyone who's not allowed to enter. Beware his fierce ninja skills.

What a load of crap!!!! Dude, when you graduate grade school and reach a level where correct spelling and grammar are a requirement of daily life, try this little BS trick again. There is nothing more telling of a fake than bad grammar and terrible spelling. Let's see, you are a jewelry dealer on a trip from Chicago to Italy, can't spell, you are alledgedly asked to be an interpreter for "diplomats", ha ha (I didn't see anything about a background check mentioned), and I'm sure you speak as well as you type. Considering all of this, and if you take my advice, I'll hear from you again in about 6 years.
You know...normal, average, every-day, typical, run of the mill, usual, majority.....that's how most people define normal. Do you define it differently?
Followup... Mark Amaru Pinkham isn't JUST the Gnostic Templars, he's also the Khemit School of Ancient Mysticism and a group called the Serpents of Wisdom. All falling under an umbrella group called "Heartlight Fellowship."

I don't see how it could appear any different. Just because Mark Amaru Pinkham started a club, and elected himself Grand Prior doesn't mean he actually has any followers...
