The Papal Seal shows two “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”. Catholics know where those “keys” came from! They came from Jesus Christ!
He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies gave “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” to one person in History! His words to St. Peter are very clear.
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”

Catholics focus on the two “keys”. What do they mean?? What do they signify? One “key” may be a sign of God’s Love! His Love for us brought Him to earth. His Love led Him to live and die in Fulfillment of The Prophecies.
What is the other “key” on the Papal Seal? The other ‘key” may be Truth! Jesus Christ is “Truth” in human form. He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies is Love and Truth in human form!
So, Catholics consider that God’s Love and Truth may be the two “keys”! They are “the keys” to “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”!

His Love and Truth lets us find other “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”. The Catholic Church has Seven Sacraments. They begin with Baptism. From there, a Catholic soul goes to Confession. Then, Absolution. After that, we receive The Actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The Miracle of Transubstantiation empowers Catholic priests to transform bread and wine into The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ!
That is an important “key”! Without it, we cannot have what Jesus instructed 14 times “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Confirmation, Holy Orders, and The Last Rites ate the last “keys” provided by The Catholic Church.
And, The Intercession of The Saints is a “key” available to those who ask for their assistance!
~
The Papal Seal shows us that without the “keys” of God’s Love and Truth, we cannot obtain the other “keys”. Those “keys” are the two “keys” to “the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven”!
