First, it was never stated in the series that the seven Grimm knights were Templars; that's conjecture by people posting here. It was specifically stated that the seven Grimm knights fought for the seven royal families in the Crusades (no mention of a Pope), and that they hid what they found because they thought it was so powerful that the royals could use it to rule the world if they got hold of it. That's all in 201, "Bad Teeth."
