<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deborah Standaloft, post: 10681738, member: 12233&quot;]Trawling the Internet this afternoon I found a guy called Kevin who has a page on religious heraldry. I mailed him and within 3 hours he mailed back with this....</p><ol> <li>The motto scroll has three words: “Indutus Loricam Charitatis,” or “Put On the Breastplate of Charity.” (“Loricam” is barely visible but it&#039;s there.)</li> <li>This was the episcopal motto of René François Renou — <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Fran%C3%A7ois_Renou" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Fran%C3%A7ois_Renou" rel="nofollow">https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/René_François_Renou</a></li> <li>As confirmation, here&#039;s his coat of arms — <a href="https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Fran%C3%A7ois_Renou" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Fran%C3%A7ois_Renou" rel="nofollow">https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/wiki/René_François_Renou</a></li> <li>The six tassels on each side indicate that he was still bishop of Amien (1893-1896) when this seal was made. He later became archbishop of Tours, but evidently it hadn&#039;t happened yet, because archbishops have 10 tassels on each side.</li> <li>Going clockwise, the six relics are a piece from the Veil of the Virgin Mary in Chartres; St. Agnes; St. Colette; St. Christine; St. Mathilde; and St. Claire.</li> </ol><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
