Cardinal Stephen Brislin Coat of Arms
Cardinal Stephen Brislin, 67, South Africa, “Veritas in Caritate” (“Truth in Love”).
The archbishop of Cape Town’s motto comes from St Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 4:15. Brislin unveiled a new coat of arms just ahead of the consistory, which includes a red Basotho hat representing Brislin’s root in the Free State and an anchor reflecting Cape Town’s location as the Cape of Good Hope. In reference to Brislin’s episcopal motto, the South African bishops’ conference said that the cardinal-designate “has a rare gift of combining gentleness with firmness” and “presents a good balance between the teaching of the Church and pastoral sensitivity.” – CNA
