But all the same, just because of that cheesy crucifix, which looks worse than any chessy cricifixes I have ever seen, I will not buy BI. Urgh....
The Templars came into existence in the 12th century, sorry no Templar Priests.

However at this time Medicine was leaving the hands of private practice and surgeons and entering the hands of priests.

You forget that this is nearing the start of the dark ages, Roman Power is fading away at this time, and with it the field of medicine is starting to change hands from capable surgeons, and doctors of a variety of qualities back to the various priesthoods, partly because there are a lot less of them around.
