I wouldn't be that cynical. I don't suppose all the Templars - or members of any religious orders - were wholly faithful to their vows, but there was a strong belief in a very real and nasty place called Hell, and even in this world, dishonour was something the knightly classes did fear, with good reason -
and of course reliable contraception didn't exist until much more recently, however attractive a noble knight might be, the stakes for women were dangerously high.

Well, this is not a real problem: The Catholic Church "Sacrament of Penance" allows anyone to confess their sins and to be absolved by God through the administration of a Priest in the rite of “Penance and Reconciliation". The only requirement was to get a friendly, understanding Priest.

Looking to earn a living, net worth only slightly over £40 million

It'll cost Canada C$1.7 million a year for their security. I'm sure the CFers in the Great White North will be glad to foot the bill.

unfortunately, while ordinary lay-folk might just expect a long, hard stint in Purgatory, which could, as you say, be at least reduced by penance, and more so by indulgences, a member of a religious order who broke their vow was committing a mortal sin and had to do some serious stuff like founding a hospital or building a chapel for masses to be offered to keep their soul out of Hell.

"Sobald der Gülden im Becken klingt im huy die Seel im Himmel springt"
"As soon a coin in the bowl rings, a soul from purgatory springs."

Johann Tetzel's sale of indulgences in Germany to help fund the building of St. Peter's in Rome, help precipitate the Protestant Reformation.
