I'm more on the atheist side, just not a cucked one, I'm an empiricist but if you are making a new inquisition or templar order, can I join? I have a fantastic BS detector, can easily tell who's a demonistic prick a mile away.
Funny you should ask actually, some based Italians have started an effort to revive the Templars and are gaining traction abroad. While they're still working on full Papal approval (which the still-extant Hospitallers and Teutons already have) they're already cultivating grassroots ties in Italy & elsewhere, getting their name out there doing things like preserving historic churches or locating the grave of Arnau de Torroja (one of the OG Templar Grandmasters), and setting as their public mission "fight against esotericism and rampant magic, especially among young people; cleaning operations against Satanists operating in the dioceses."
As far as church politics go, I find it especially interesting that if you look at their US/Canada site, their archive of events shows them often hanging out with known conservatives in the Catholic hierarchy. People like Cardinal Robert Sarah (the African archconservative cardinal) or Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas (an opponent of Pope Francis who has supported the view that one can't be a Catholic and a Democrat these days). Also, they're obviously active in events like the March/Rally for Life on the federal & state levels. Hard to tell what the future holds of course, but if they're looking to get a reaction going against the type of churches in the OP, they're off to a good start and building the right connections.
Fun fact. The office that runs the Inquisition (Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith) is still around. But come join us Orthabros, we have better memes.
