Introducing Our New Masthead Graphic Of Pope Francis

Well, Academicians,  it was a long time coming, but... here's our new masthead graphic. 

Our new masthead, featuring Pope Francis, also incorporates a few meaningful symbols:

First, an acknowledgement to Pope Francis' Jesuit background: Denoted by the Jesuit symbol in the center of the glowing Cross.

Second, an acknowledgement to Saint Francis of Assisi (on the shield): Depicting Saint Francis holding up the Lateran Church building (symbolic of the worldwide Church)  to keep it from collapsing, as seen by Pope Innocent III in a dream.  The image is part of a fresco attributed to the famous painter, Giotto.

Oh, and that big blue marble? That's the planet we occupy for the moment.
