Sigh.  Thank you for not embedding the image.

 

And isn’t the beaver in the diocesan arms supposed to be gold?

Silver, actually. But the diocese sometimes depicts it as Proper.

Ditto all above.  I don’t think "proper" is appropriate in any blazon of these impaled arms.

I suppose a really good heraldic artist could make these attractive, but might still balk at signing them…
