Maltese Cross Keys of St. Peter

For a few years now I have been yearning to put a maltese cross styled window sticker on my truck topper. Something that hollers out to a distressed and a generally non believing world that I am Catholic and Proud! I poked around the web and came up with a few ideas but nothing that really stuck. If you want something done right then you have to do it yourself.

The Order of Malta and the associated Maltese Cross are old by almost any standard. Yet,even though the wiki maltese cross image is decent enough they get the geometry wrong. After locating a correct geometric maltese cross layout the next hurdle was designing it such that at least fellow Catholics would get “it.”

I am fairly certain other dyed in the wool Catholics would recognize the maltese cross, but there is uncertainty it would resonate a call to arms in the public square in defense of everything we profess. The other day after dinner at a friends house I noticed they had a small sharp looking Vatican flag bumper sticker on their SUV. In the white half of the flag is the universally recognized crossed Keys of Saint Peter. Obviously, at least to me, a blended design of the Maltese Cross and the Vatican Flag would drive home a clarion call to defend, preserve, and uphold the Church – especially the Pope. We must not flinch in the slightest when the enemies of the Church press in on every side.

When Kinko’s is done printing up the sticker and it’s fixed to the truck topper I’ll post a photo.
