The Feeling Is Mutual

I'm so glad I found this article. When I read it, I was relieved that I wasn't alone in this feeling about Pope Francis.

The Coat of Arms of Pope Francis With The Tiara

I've featured the new standard coat of arms of Pope Francis in the past with the simple bishop's mitre. This is how the papal arms should still look today in my opinion simply because the undying symbol of the papacy is included: the tiara. I'd also like to add that it would be nice to see the pope wear his coat of arms on his sash of his cassock, like all of his recent predecessors. Too bad the pope prefers "simplicity" in place of identity.
