It didn't even matter if they opposed their belief system. If anybody was determined a threat to the Catholic Church, and more specifically their piles and piles of gold and riches, they were also tortured, burnt, etc. As soon as the Catholics realized how much money they lost out on because The Knight's Templar were able to live and roam in France tax-free, and more specifically, how much wealth the Knights made off of a primal version of the Traveler's Cheque system, they immediately targetted them as their enemy. And these were the same Knights who fought for Jerusalem and in the Crusades.
