Papal Arms (with corrections)

The eight-pointed star (not five) makes reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the nard flower no longer looks like a bunch of grapes...now if only someone would correct the tiara. ...

Oops! Now the pallium seems to have been lost!
Come on! Wake up, chaps!

  1. I am not sure why but I feel heartened by the points you have raised Patricius. I was queasy about the 5 pointed star, and the bunch of grapes - both looked too much like a pub sign. Thank you.

    1. Thanks, Richard. It looks as if there may be someone there attempting- with some success in this instance- to put His Holiness straight.
