As a Bishop, Karol Woytila used this design with the Cross and Letter M in Black, instead of Gold. As this violated the Heraldic "Tincture's Canon" (Black on Blue, Colour on Colour), upon his Election as Pope, Vatican Heraldist, Monsignor Bruno Bernard Haim, suggested he replace Black by Gold (Raul Pardo, 2 April 2005, Joe McMillan, 20 April 2005).

Coat-of-Arms
of Pope Emeritus
Benedict XVI
English: The Coat-of-Arms of Pope Benedict XVI. The Crown with the Episcopal Mitre Plate is divided into three fields that carry specific Heraldic symbols:
Left (Heraldic Dexter) of the "Moor of Freising" from the Coat-of-Arms of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, where Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was Archbishop.
Right (Heraldic Sinister) the Bear of Saint Corbinian, Patron Saint of the Diocese
of Munich and Freising, from the City Arms.
Below is a Scallop, which stands for the Pilgrimage. It refers to a legend about Saint Augustine.
The Mussel is also found in the Arms of Scots Monastery, Regensburg, Germany, in which
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. began his life as a Priest. Behind the Shield are the
Keys of Heaven, which, by Christian Tradition, were received by Saint Peter from Jesus
as a symbol of Papal authority. On top, it is adorned with a Bishop's Mitre and a Pallium,
instead of the Traditional three-tiered Papal Tiara.
Deutsch: Der mit der bischöflichen Mitra gekrönte Schild ist in drei Felder geteilt, die spezielle heraldische Symbole tragen:
Links (heraldisch rechts) der "Freisinger Mohr" aus dem Wappen des Erzbistum München-Freising, wo Joseph Kardinal Ratzinger Erzbischof war.
Rechts (heraldisch links) der Bär des Hl. Korbinian, Schutzpatron des Bistums München-Freising, aus dem Freisinger Stadtwappen.
Unten eine Jakobsmuschel, die für die Pilgerreise steht. Sie bezieht sich auf eine Legende über den Kirchenvater Augustinus. Die Muschel fand sich auch im Wappen des ehem. Schottenklosters St. Jacob in Regensburg, in dem Benedikt XVI. seine Laufbahn als Priester begann.
Hinter dem Wappenschild befinden sich die gekreuzten Schlüssel des Petrus, die für den Papst als Stellvertreter Gottes auf Erden stehen. Ein zusätzliches Element ist das Pallium, eine Art Stola, die von römisch-katholischen Metropoliten über dem Messgewand getragen wird und das in diesem Fall den Papst als Erzbischof und Metropolit von Rom kennzeichnet.Als erster Papst der Neuzeit verzichtete Benedikt XVI. auf die Tiara im Wappen und wählte statt dessen die Bischofsmitra.

Coat-of-Arms
of Pope Francis
Pope Francis has decided to keep his previous Coat-of-Arms,
chosen at the time of his Episcopal Consecration and marked by linear simplicity.
The Blue Shield is surmounted by the symbols of Papal Dignity, the same as those used by his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (the Mitre above Crossed Keys of Gold and Silver, bound by the Red Cord). At the top of the Shield is the emblem of the Pope's Religious Order, The Society of Jesus: A radiant Sun carrying the Letters in Red, IHS, the Monogram of Jesus. The Letter H is crowned by a Cross; beneath the Letters are three Black Nails.
Lower down on the Shield, there is a Star and a Spikenard Flower. The Star, according to ancient Armorial Tradition, symbolises The Virgin Mary, The Mother of Christ and The Church; while the Spikenard symbolises Saint Joseph, Patron of The Universal Church. In Traditional Hispanic iconography, Saint Joseph is shown with a Vine in his hand. By bearing these images on his Shield, the Pope communicates his special Devotion to The Most Holy Virgin and to Saint Joseph.
The Motto of Pope Francis is taken from a Passage from the Venerable Bede, Homily 21 (CCL 122, 149-151), on The Feast of Matthew, which reads: "Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum, et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi, ‘Sequere me’. [Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since He sees by having Mercy and by Choosing, He says to him, ‘follow Me’.]
