Revision as of 20:45, 2 August 2005
Every pope of the Roman Catholic Church has his own personal coat of arms that serves as a symbol of his papacy.
All recent popes' coats of arms contained the image of the papal tiara. Benedict XVI has ignored heraldic custom and used instead the mitre and pallium (see article: Coat of arms of Pope Benedict XVI). The papal coat of arms traditionally features a gold and silver key, representing the power to bind and to loose on earth (silver) and in heaven (gold).
Coats Of Arms of Recent Popes
Note:Some of the images here just show the shield of the coat of arms, and not the full arms, which had the tiara.
