Popes
Innocent VI. , 1352-1362
Benedict XVI. , 2005-2013
Benedict XVI. accepted as Pope a new coat of arms designed by Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo . His papal coat of arms contains symbols that were already found in his archbishop's coat of arms: the Korbinian bear of the diocesanpatron Korbinian from Freising's city coat of armsand the crowned Moors from the coat of arms of the archbishops of Munich-Freising, supplemented by a shell as an allusion to a legend about the Pope's favorite theologians Augustine and the pilgrim symbol of the scallop . Surprisingly, he had thepapal tiara , which hadrisen above the coat of armsfor centuries with the crossed keys, replaced by a simple episcopal miter , which, however, is adorned with three golden ribbons, similar to the crown rings of the tiara, which stand for the three powers of the Pope: Consecration, Jurisdiction and teaching qualification. They are connected vertically in the center to show their unity in the same person. By choosing the miter instead of the tiara in the papal coat of arms, Benedict XVI. repeatedly emphasized collegiality of the bishops are represented. It also indicates the leadership principle of the papacy of the first centuries, according to which the pope as bishop of Rome was merely primus inter pares . Under the coat of arms - as a sign of supervision and the pastoral office of a metropolitan - the pallium is shown for the first time in a papal coat of arms.
