Maria Divine Mercy's Problematic Medal of Salvation

Mary McGovern has attempted a justification for the two swords of salvation on her medal, in lieu of the traditional one sword Catholics are familiar with. According to her:

Masonic Symbols in Maria Divine Mercy's Seal of the Living God?

Maria Divine Mercy frequently mentions Masonic influences that supposedly have overtaken the Vatican and where behind the election of Pope Francis. 

MDM seems to know quite a lot about Freemasonry, one could say.  

From now famous investigative article written by Saseen who wrote Maria Divine Mercy: The Woman Behind The Curtain, we find out that MDM's Jesus approved of the Seal the Living God, designed by an graphic artist who had Masonic symbols in his stock images. 

This is the red seal he designed.

But what are the origins of this symbol - the cross and the crown?

On a Polish Catholic blog 'In Defence of Tradition and Faith' we find an interesting comment, 'The seal of the Living God' that has been published on this page has kept me restless the whole day. I noticed that the seal contains the image of the cross with a crown. I contacted one of my friends, who has given me information that this sign is an ancient Masonic symbol of the Knights Templar"  

The cross with a crown. If we search the internet we come across such interesting information with a quote from a Freemason Ray V. Denslow: 

"The Cross and Crown may be said to be confined almost exclusively to the historical degrees in Masonry as exemplified in the various orders of knighthood of York and Scottish rites. In Gaul we find the cross to have been a solar symbol when it had equal arms and angles; to the Phoenicians it was an instrument of sacrifice to their God, Baal; and to the Egyptians, the crux ansata was his symbol of eternal life." (Ray V. Denslow, Masonic Portraits, Transactions of ths Missouri Lodge of Research, vol. #29, p.7---emphasis in the original)

On the same website we read further:

The other group that uses the cross and crown emblem is Christian Science. This group was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in Massachusetts but Mason Henry Steele Olcott, who was co- founder of the Theosophical Society with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky,'" was an associate of Mary Baker Eddy.'" Some Eddy Brothers held seances and it was at these seances that Blavatsky met Col. Henry Steele Olcott.'" Mary Baker Eddy herself had married a Mason and this was the only secret society which she allowed other Christian Science members to join.'" She even had some of her material published in the Freemason's Monthly Magazine. "4 Several people connected with Christian Science such as directors and board members and a number of the editors of The Christian Science Monitor were Masons.'" Even the presidents of the Mother Church in 1922-23 and 1923-24

And there is another group that uses the crown and the cross symbol. That is Jehova's Witnesses' organisation Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society!

Quite an interesting choice - and this is the design that Jesus approved, as we read in Saseen's article?
