I like the lion with the sword, as well as the motto "Let him be found faithful."

Indeed Bishop Williamson has steadfastly defended the Faith he promised to protect when he was consecrated in 1988. Unlike certain other clerics, he hasn't lost heart, much less betrayed the cause.

I thought he has a rose on his coat of arms. I guess I was wrong.

That's pretty much an English staple, just like the fleur de lis in France.

I think it's a lion bearing the sword of the spirit (St. Paul).

uhm, and the "rose and a cross" thing was also a joke:

Quote from: +Williamson

THE COAT OF ARMS

Your coat of arms – a rose upon a cross !
Therefore I’m Rosicrucian ? -- I’m at a loss !

No, no ! The rose obliterates Our Lord !
Heavens above ! And what, the lion and sword ?

Venice, Venetian usurers they do show.
And where was Sarto Cardinal ? Do you know ?

Anyway, you share the rose of M I 5.
And so for British Intelligence I live ?
