Its more of a tap. Following tradition.

And yes, the ring is smashed to prevent anyone from using it by issuing proclamations pretending to be the pope

[natureperson420]

[m173627]

[3NUNS]

@m173627 : And, who would be naive enough to pretend to be the pope!

[m173627]

@3NUNS

You'd be surprised. It sounds ridiculous in the modern day, but this was established in the middle ages at least. Look up "Antipope" in wikipedia.

[3NUNS]

And so, even your hero Cardinal Ottaviani has confirmed what I have been telling you all along: by denying the validity of a Mass promulgated by the Holy Father, you commit the grave sin of heresy. I'll pray for your soul.

"In place of an altar there is a miserable table. In place of Christ there is bread."

--St. Richard Gwyn, Welsh Martyr

[MckyJcksn]

"The beauty of the church is equally resplendent in the variety of the liturgical rites which enrich her divine cult when they are legitimate and conform to the faith. Precisely the legitimacy of their origin protects and guards them against infiltration of errors. . . the purity and unity of the faith is in this manner also upheld by the supreme magisterium of the pope through the liturgical laws."

-Cardinal Ottaviani
