It seems as though the Vatican is figuring things out. Thank God.

Is that a bear blowing out a candle on on a cupcake?

that is benedict XVI's coat of arms, except that instead of The Tiara benedict replaced it with a miter... maybe he changed it back to a tiara ?

[Paphnutius]

Yeah Cam is pointing out the tiara that was replaced with the mitre.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

just to clarify:

it went from tiara to mitre to tiara?

As opposed to:

The former looks much better and more proper than the latter.

I still want to know what that bear is doing...

Yes, what are these? I hope they're spoofs of the real vatican seal. I would vomit if what Cam has posted here becomes the Vatican's new official seal.

It's Pope Benedict XVI's personal crest.

Ive seen a picture of Benedict's seal as portrayed by the Vatican gardens (aka the huge seal made of flowers in the gardens) and it looks like the seal Cam posted.

Where is this graphic from?

At the Vatican website, the standard coat-of-arms, which represents the Holy See, still has the tiara. Benedict's personal coat-of-arms, however, still displays the mitre:

Incidentally, I prefer the mitre.

*wipes brow* Phew! Well Beni can do whatever he likes, but i would have been horrified if that become the Vatican's official seal.

[toledo_jesus]

it's just a different motif...the "mitre" one still had the triple tiara...I guess I prefer the look of the new one...They are both the same thing...
