During the Communist period the group all but disappeared and was assumed to have either disbanded or been surpressed by the Communist regime. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Priory resurfaced with a sophisticated propaganda machine which seemd to belie earlier theories of its demise.
Recently, the Priory has agitated in favor of the Airbus A380, a "yes" vote for the seemingly moribund European Constitution, genetically modifed foods and the universal increase of hot dog consumption. Although very few hot dogs can be counted as citizens, they also advocate universal hot dog suffrage. Such a conceit, which is a bewildering hindrance in their quest to be taken seriously, has a purpose which as yet remains unknown. Given their other positions, it may be simply, as in the words of Oscar J. Peterson, "another instance of Frankengineering, the hodge-podge of Europena efforts into another kind of mongrel: affable yet bland, a shining lie upon which all can agree. Never mind that soup costs more than a mobile phone."
The Priory's most famous branch remains that of San Francisco, where hip intellectuals flock to its now thoroughly pimped conclaves in search of free chocolate.
