This is in reference to an ongoing scandal within the SMOM or
Knights of Malta, a famous if secretive lay Catholic religious order that
ostensibly is involved in charity work but has always been suspected to have a
wider agenda. From its ties to the old Catholic nobility to its many members
involved in power politics, the Establishment and often the 'Deep State', the
Knights along with Opus Dei and other Vatican entities have elicited no small
degree of inquiry and fascination.
