On February 14th, the Feast of Ss. Cyril & Methodius, Co-Patrons of Europe but also the day many more see as St. Valentines Day the Most Rev. Charles Philip Richard Moth (67), since 2015 the Bishop of Arundel & Brighton, who served before that as the Bishop of the Armed Forces since 2009 and who is originally a priest of the Archdiocese of Southwark will be installed as the 12th Metropolitan Archbishop of Westminster but also the 24th Ordinary of a jurisdiction which has existed since 1622 as the Vicariate Apostolic of England and Wales, later changed to the Vicariate Apostolic of the London District in 1688. (Incidentally, the Ordinary of the Vicariate Apostolic of the London District was responsible for any Catholic clergy serving in N. America in what later became the USA until the erection of the See of Baltimore in 1789.

His episcopal coat of arms which he has used since his episcopal ordination in 2009 will be impaled with the arms used by the See of Westminster which itself has undergone several minor changes over the years but which has consistently appeared in its present form since the tenure of Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor. The College of Arms will create a divisal of arms for a Catholic bishop but the Catholic dioceses in England and Wales are not considered bodies corporate of law and so they do not receive grants of Arms from HM College of Arms. (Lord Lyon has granted arms to all the Catholic dioceses in Scotland and will grant arms to a Catholic bishop.)
