===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 scallop is the symbol of St. James, the patron saint of the bishop. In the centre of the arms is a coffee branch, symbolising his second name, Clifford, and is taken from the arms of an English Clifford family. The keys refer to St. Peter and thus to the St. Peter Cathedral in Scranton. The star on which the keys are placed is taken from the arms of [[Joseph Carroll McCormick]], to mark Bishop Timlin's years of service to him as secretary and chancellor. | |||
The blue crescent refers to St. Mary. The bishop was born on the Feast of Our Lady of the Snows and was ordained on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Camel. The blue roundel is taken from the arms of the Diocese of Scranton. | |||
The motto Fides Spes Caritas means Faith, hope and love. | |||
In the arms as bishop the personal arms are simplified, but many of the symbols remained. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
