The Vilatte Orders are awards or decorations associated Joseph René Vilatte which include the Order of the Crown of Thorns (OCT) and the Order of the Lion and the Black Cross (OLBC). Both are condemned by the Holy See and Italy lists both as illegal decorations. The International Commission on Orders of Chivalry (ICOC) includes a list of ''ecclesiastical decorations'' in its Register since 1998, which only "possess full validity as awards of merit or honours within the respective Churches which have instituted them" but excludes bodies "which are often created as a purely private initiative, and which subsequently place themselves under the 'protection' of a Patriarchal See or Archbishopric."〔 Also 〕 Neither the or are found in the Register. The suggests to authorities "to use more proper terms for any future creations of awards" and states it should be "clearly understood that the decorations () are not considered by the Commission to be Chivalric in nature even though several may use the term 'Order' in their styles and imitate Chivalric titles."〔 ==Order of the Crown of Thorns== The awards associated with Vilate include those named ''The Chivalrous and Religious Order of the Crown of Thorns'' (OCT) (''フランス語:L'Ordre Souverain, Chevaleresque, Nobilaire et Religieux de la Couronne d'Epines''), ''The Sovereign, Knightly and Noble Order of the Lion and the Black Cross'' (OLBC) (''フランス語:L'Ordre Souverain, Chevaleresque, et Noble du Lion et de Croix Noire'' (OLCN)). (''フランス語:L'Ordre Souverain, Chevaleresque, Nobilaire et Religieux de la Couronne d'Epines''), Louis-François Girardot and Vilatte originated a pair of groups. The two separately founded ''orders'' had the same name but different origins and were combined, although it is not clear what that meant. The San Luigi organization says that the orders were inspired by the ''フランス語:Ordre du Genest'', founded by King Louis IX of France, and also that "it is not asserted that there is a continuous and historically verifiable link between the present-day Order and these bodies."〔 Also: 〕 There are two separate foundation stories for the ; one in 1883, the other in 1891. These foundation stories were not believed by some during Vilatte's lifetime; Guénon wrote that "dignitaries of this Church have a mania for titles of nobility as others have for fantastic decorations; thus (Vilatte ) invented the 'Order of the Crown of Thorns'."〔 Translation of 〕 The organization acknowledges the lack of verifiable facts about the monastery but says that some documents were destroyed in a house fire in 1918 and other documents were seized by the Vatican in 1929 after Vilatte's death.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vilatte Orders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
