INSIGNIA
AND FLAG OF THE ANGLICAN PATRIARCHATE
& THE IMPERIAL ROMAN CHURCH

Catholicate, and the Anglican Patriarchate of Rome consists of a
crossed key representing St. Peter and Saint Stephen with a sword
representing St. Paul and St. Mark. Keys of the traditional emblem of
St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles. Although a palm is more commonly
used to represent Saint Stephen, the key is used in this case because
the See of Saint Stephen is the Coadjutorship of Rome was successor to
Pope Saint Leo X. The sword is the traditional symbol of St. Paul, also
representing Rome. The sword is also one of the common symbols of St.
Mark the Evangelist, representing the Anglo-Roman Province of Aquileia

symbols represent the spiritual and temporal sovereignty of the Holy
Church. Over the key and sword is the tiara, the symbol of papal
authority exercised by the Archfather over the jurisdiction of the
Anglican Patriarchate.
