Editing Renewed Order of the Temple (section)

== After Origas's death ==
Following his death, the ideas of the group would deviate further.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=27}} Di Mambro urged Jouret to take over the order, and he became its new grand master in 1983.{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=220}} Jouret was initially accepted by the remaining ORT members as successor. However, he began introducing new and foreign concepts into ORT, inspired by Di Mambro's ideas.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=145}} Origas's wife Germaine and daughter Catherine opposed him in his leadership of the group.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}}{{sfn|Mayer|1999|p=176}} Jouret was never consecrated as grand master, which was an important process to many esoteric groups, and he was not an officer in the legal aspects of the organization; as a reaction to his new ideas, Gregorio Baccolini, a Catholic Benedictine priest and the ORT Grand Prior, alongside Origas's family, used this to oust him in 1984.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}} In 1984, ORT was identified as a "very dangerous" group in a publication by the [[Centre contre les manipulations mentales|CCMM]], a French [[anti-cult group]], with the publication connecting it to Jouret.{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|pp=128, 133}}

Following this, the group split into two.{{sfn|Caillet|2001|p=XLVII}} Jouret had no legal right to the ORT name, so he founded a splinter group in Geneva, Switzerland upon his ousting, alongside Di Mambro.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}}{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=220}} In the schism, Jouret took many of the members with him.{{Efn|Chryssides says the majority went with Catherine, while Hall & Schuyler say the majority went with Jouret.{{sfn|Chryssides|2006|p=127}}{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|p=126}}}} Jouret later claimed that this schism had been the will of the [[ascended master]]s, who had appeared to him two years prior and revealed to him a 13 year plan until the world ended.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}} It was first called the ORT–Solar Tradition before being renamed the International Order of Chivalry Solar Tradition (OICST) and finally the [[Order of the Solar Temple]] (OTS).{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}} The OTS was dually schismatic and a direct continuation of the original ORT, with occult-apocalyptic teachings descended from that of Breyer and Origas, which it tied to other apocalyptic concepts,{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}} and some white supremacist ideas.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=33}} After Jouret and Di Mambro consulted him,{{sfn|Mayer|1999|p=176}} Breyer attempted to mediate the schism, suggesting the groups separate with goodwill, not seeing a problem with creating more Arginy organizations; however, he suggested that Jouret and Di Mambro's group transfer to Canada to spread the movement.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}}{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=222}} Breyer's mediation did not work and the groups grew to dislike one another.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}} ORT already had some Canadian administration in [[Trois-Rivières]] and [[Quebec City]], which were led by Robert Falardeau.{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=222}}

The other branch of ORT continued, led by Origas's widow Germaine Origas and Baccolini.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}} Germaine was interim president until 1987, after which they appointed a William M. as the president, with Germaine becoming the treasurer; the group did not have a grand master. Germaine became leader in 1992, with a table of nine members managing.{{sfn|Caillet|1997|p=149}} Not being able to afford the management of the Auty Castle, it became headed in the [[Toulouse]] region of France, in [[Caussade]], and mostly in Francophone Africa and Brazil.<ref name="LPRS1996" />{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}} As of 1997 it had some 500 members.{{sfn|Caillet|1997|p=149}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}} The OTS later became notorious for the mass murder-suicides committed by it in the 1990s, which killed most of its high ranking members.{{Sfn|Caillet|2001|p=XLVII}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|pp=21, 26}} Following the OTS suicides, Germaine denounced the OTS and denied that the ORT was a cult, saying that they had "no connection with it", but admitted that Jouret had frequented the organization and said that he had tried to take over the group, after which they had ousted him. She said she was concerned that the "naive and fragile" members had stayed with him.<ref name="LPRS1996">{{Cite news |date=1996-04-06 |title=Luc Jouret: nouvelles révélations |trans-title=Luc Jouret: new revelations |url=https://scriptorium.ch/zoom/236056/view?page=14 |access-date=2024-11-28 |work=La Presse Riviera/Chablais |location=Montreux |page=14 |language=fr-CH |via=[[Scriptorium (website)|Scriptorium]] |issue=81 |agency=ats}}</ref>
