Ecclesistical office heraldry also belongs to my heraldic offer. The Roman Catholic church has developed for her dignitaries certain, always constant heraldic rank badge who consist of the typical headgears (tiare, mitre, prelate's hat) and other ecclesiastical attributes (crooks, talk crosses, pallium etc.). In detail the following order arises according to the ecclesiastical laws
1. The coat of arms sign of pope is accompanied by the tiare, a triply crowned white cap concluded by a cross and two keys (gold and silver) which are mostly connected by a red cord and are crossed about or behind the sign. The golden key points after (heraldically) on the top right. (Remark of the author: Because the tiare are not carried any more, pope Benedikt XVI. than the first pope leads a mitre and the pallium in the coat of arms.)
2. The shield cardinals becomes by a red prelate's hat with 15 red on both sides, in five rows (1:2:3:4:5) to arranged tassels calls. If the concerning cardinal is at the same time an archbishop or bishop, a double or easy talk cross whose shaft should be visible under the sign stands behind the sign
3. The shield patriarchs is accompanied by a green prelate's hat with 15 green tassels arranged in five rows and stands before a golden double sharp.
4. The shield archbishops is marked by a green prelate's hat with 10 (1:2:3:4) green tassels on both sides and stands before a golden double sharp.
