| | The Coat of Arms for Pope Benedict XVI - Good News Ministries |
 | | For eight centuries or longer, popes have symbolized the heart of their papal ministries by designing their own personal coat of arms. | | | On the back of the shield are the papal keys, in remembrance of Christ's words to Peter: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). | | | A miter replaces the old papal tiara, which had been an image of royalty left over from the days when popes were sometimes more political than spiritual. |

| | Pope Benedict XVI : Papal coat of arms |
| | In contrast to the coat of arms of John Paul II, the new Popes crest is topped by a simple mitre rather than the traditional three-layered papal crown, or tiara. | | | VATICAN CITY (CNS) -Apr-27-2005- The papal crown has been given the boot once again, this time no longer appearing as part of the new pope's coat of arms. | | | "a symbolism Benedict XVI wants to keep alive" after Pope John Paul II, "the great pilgrim." The shell is also present in the coat of arms of the Schotten monastery in Regensburg, Germany, to which the pope "feels very spiritually close," the archbishop said. |

| | Probably the tiara used to dress the statue of Peter, as the oval coat of arms on the lappets appear to be the abbreviated coat of arms of Spain. | | | Pius XII chose this tiara for his coronation to symbolize the end of the 59 year feud between the holy see and the Italian state with the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929, which restored papal temporal sovereignty over the Vatican, lost under the pontificate of Pius IX. | | | In 1798, the Vatican treasury was looted by the armies of Napoleon, and the papal tiaras were taken to France and broken up for their jewels and valuable metals, which explains why the existing tiaras are relatively recent. |

| | In 1929 Vatican City resurrected the pre-1870 civil ensign as its state flag, probably because it contained the official papal colors (yellow-white) and the tiara-keys emblem as an unvarying symbol of the papacy (unlike the personal arms of each pontiff). | | | The flag of the Vatican City State is as on your webpage, showing the arms with the silver key in the dexter position. | | | In the personal arms of the popes, the keys are, of course, arranged as in the arms of the Holy See: the other arrangement would be equivalent to treating him as merely the head of that little state. |

| | A rival antipope, Pius XIII of the 'True Catholic Church' has made use of the tiara on his coat of arms. | | | As with all other modern coronations, the ceremony itself was only symbolic; the person duly elected became pope and Bishop of Rome the moment he accepted his election in the Conclave, as popes John Paul I and II showed by declining a coronation. | | | It marked a renunciation of one of the three possible reasons for the existence of the three tiers of the crown; secular power, which in any case had ended in 1870 when the Papal States joined the rest of Italy to form the Kingdom of Italy. |
