He says clearly that the two hearts represent the Vendeé, which is where the SSPX got it from. I don't think a Jesuit can prohibit anyone from using IHS without their permission. Let's be rational.

It is ridiculous to suggest that Roman Catholic symbols are restricted to certain groups under what only can be described as "copyright laws". No religious order has ever demanded an exclusive use, especially for time-honored, universally accepted symbols for the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts; the Lamb of God; the royal house of Catholic France; etc. Additionally, we're talking about a Coat of Arms; what else would one use except symbols and a motto?

Does anyone know the history of when and why the SSPX chose the Vendee symbol as their logo?

Can you explain to us the essential of your coat of arms?

In the sensual is the lamb of apocalypse and Alpha and the Omega the lamb of god that takes away the sins of the world announced by Isaiah. The hearts are symbols of the Vendeé martyrs and the revolution and the flor de lis is the emblem of Catholic France. The motto, ipsa cónteret (she will crush you) is taken from the Vulgate, Genesis 3, 15 where God promises the victory of the Virgin Mary against the dragon.

I apologize, it should say "in the center" not in the sensual. I used a microphone that types as you speak and it seems that was a mistake that came through unnoticed to due lack of time what with the consecration about to happen.

Should it not also be "Lamb of God" (capitalization?)

The Vendeé is like a French version of Cristeros.
