Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms are derived from a (non related) Casey family of Ireland, consisting of a red chevron be tween three eagles' heads, in red with jagged edges, on a silver field. In his arms the third eagle's head has been omitted so that an escallop shell, the symbol of St. James the Greater, the baptismal patron of the Bishop, could be added. Since St. James was the first of the apostolic martyrs, the escallop is tinctured in red, the liturgical color appropriate for one who has shed his blood for Christ.
The Latin crossses are derived from the coat of arms of Leo Binz, who, as Archbishop of Dubuque, consecrated Archbishop Casey as Auxiliary Bishop of Lincoln in 1957. Archbishop Casey was born, baptized, and labored as a priest for 17 years in this archdiocese.
The motto, "Nisi Dominus' taken from Psalm 126, is translated, "Unless the Lord.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
