Grace and peace, saints.

As everyone knows, there is a new pope in Rome.  Formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis chose his name from Saint Francis of Assisi, known as “The Reformer.”

Pope Francis is the first Jesuit Pope in the history of the Roman Catholic church. This should concern the body of Christ, as the Jesuits’ primary mission is to destroy Biblical Christianity, and all Christians, by the way.

This is what makes Pope Francis’ coat of arms especially interesting.  According to The Catholic Herald the above coat of arms is his is its present design:

The coat of arms of Pope Francis as of March 28, 2013.

This coat of arms is interesting indeed.  It features a shield emblazoned with the emblem of the Jesuit Order.  The emblem is a blazing sun within which are the letters I, H, S, and three nails.  Jack Chick says the letters stand for Isis, Horus, and Seb.  I can neither confirm nor deny this.  The three nails, however, are remarkably reminiscent of those that were used to nail our Lord Jesus to the cross.

The Jesuit symbol prominently figures in the coat of arms, and seems to imply that Pope Francis is a Jesuit first and a pope second.

We will talk more about this coat of arms in a later post, God willing.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
