AUGUSTINE DANGLMAYR
Born: December 11, 1898
Deceased: September 18, 1992
Auxiliary Bishop of Dallas, 1942-1969; Titular Bishop of Olba
Official blazon
Or, a chevron ermine, between in dexter chief a mucke sable winged of the field, encompassed by a scythe proper, in sinister chief a mullet azure and in base a heart inflamed gules, pierced by two arrows, one inverted, in saltire azure. External ornaments: Behind and surmounting the shield a Processional Cross, between a Miter and a Crosier, or; surmounting these ornaments a Pontifical Hat with six tassels on either side, disposed in rows of one, two and three, all vert.
Origin/meaning
The gold field of this shield is a fitting setting for the pierced heart, which is the artistic and heraldic representation of St. Augustine, whose name was given to Bishop Danglmayr in baptism. The downward arrow denotes the love of God descending to the heart of St. Augustine, and the other arrow portrays the heroic return of this love on the part of this great Doctor of the Church. The arrows also unite in saltire to form the Green letter Chi, the initial letter of Christ in Greek, to indicate the fullness of the Priesthood in which His Excellency participates as one of the successors of the Apostles.
The ermine chevron is taken directly from the bordure of His Excellency, Bishop Joseph Patrick Lynch, to symbolize the close connection which Bishop Danglmayr, as Auxiliary bishop has with the Ordinary. The chevron is also fitting when one considers the length of service of His Excellency in the Diocese of Dallas and the fact that Bishop Lynch ordained him.
The mucke (fly) represents the Muck family, which is that of His Excellency's mother. This charge on the shield is a good example of canting Arms, wherein the sound of the charge represents the sound of the name of the bearer. A scythe to represent the paternal side of Bishop Danglmayr's family encompasses the mucke. "Dangel," more commonly "dengel," means the edge of a scythe and is a fitting representation of His Excellency's paternal surname.
Texas is symbolized by a star, a common "charge" on Episcopal and Diocesan shields in Texas.
The motto, "Cor ad Cor Loquitur" is taken from St. Augustine's famous work, "The City of God."
