Vicarius Filii Dei is an authentic Latin papal title that means "Vicar of the Son of God." It was used recently by Pope Paul VI in Bafianae (January 11, 1968), an Apostolic Constitution elevating the Prefecture Apostolic of Bafia, Cameroon, to a Diocese. The Roman numeral values of the old Latin spelling, Vicarivs Filii Dei, add up to 666 (Rev. 13:18).

What is the name inscribe in pope's miter and its meaning?
There is some controversy concerning what is written on the popes Miter, however according to many; Vicarius Filii Dei is written on his miter. Vicarius Filii Dei means: The representative of the Son of God. Sadly the controversy is caused by the fact that this story (possibly invented by the Seventh Day Adventists tho used by many extremist Protestant groups) is utterly untrue. The phrase is supposed to have been written on (an unspecified) papal tiara (not mitre); sadly for conspiracy theorists there is no writing on any of the papal tiaras (they are all still extant). The "evidence" is supposed to be contained in an early photograph of a papal corronation; the photograph exists but its quality is such that it would be impossible to read any engraving on the tiara (even if it existed). Sadly despite the facts in the matter it will not stop this story from being trotted out as fact by people like Jack Chick.

Is there a photo of the papal tiara that has vicarius feli dei on it?
No. One common myth surrounding the papal tiara involves the claim that the words Vicarius Filii Dei exist on the side of one of the tiaras. The myth centres on the widely made claim that, when numerised (ie, when those letters in the 'title' that have roman numeral value are added together) they produce the number '666', described in the Book of Revelations as the number of the Antichrist. This claim has been made by some fundamentalist protestant sects who believe that the pope as head of the Roman Catholic Church is the antichrist. Three different sources are sometimes given: - A protestant woman visiting Rome said she witnessed Pope Gregory XVI wearing a crown with the words on it, in or around 1832; - Pope Gregory XVI had worn a papal tiara with these words clearly visible on it at a Pontifical High Mass during Easter 1845; - The 'existence' of a photograph of a papal funeral at the start of the twentieth century (which probably means the funeral of Pope Leo XIII in 1903 but could possibly be Pope Pius X's in 1914) showing the words on a papal tiara. The tiara (with the words mentioned) is always used to crown popes, but specifically was used in 1939 to crown Eugenio Pacelli as Pope Pius XII. The claim is demonstrably false. Whether or not the numerised total of the letters in Vicarius Filii Dei produce the total '666' is irrelevant because no such title actually exists for the papacy or the Holy See. While the words did feature in the Donation of Constantine (now known to be a forged document) they referred to St. Peter and not subsequent popes. In 1832, only two tiaras existed; one from the sixteenth century and one, given by Napoleon I to Pope Pius VII in 1804. Neither contain writing.
