I wouldn't think so.
I'd be curious what the 'official' explanation of the church is for that symbol.

That pedo symbol, to my eyes, has a Celtic scrollwork quality to it . . . but is not Celtic scrollwork. It also has a vague resemblance to symbols of the Trinity . . . but is not a symbol of the Trinity. I have no idea why it is on a vestment worn by the pope.
There's been loads of weird stuff sewn onto vestments since the '60s but this is the first to my knowledge to resemble something from an FBI document on pedophile groups.
It is significant in and of itself but especially since the pope's recent tweet on trafficking.
I'm not a huge fan of Francis but I doubt this is something he commissioned. It's weird and is worth remembering as crimes here and abroad are exposed.
