  • @yamberlard Because the Pope is still a temporal ruler in an indirect sense through his influence over the world leaders and peoples with his moral and social teachings. Not only that, it symbolizes his spiritual power over the whole church and bishops asel. The tiara is not ment to glorify the wearer of it. It glorifies the office that he holds which is reflected back on Christ himself who instituted it.

  • The tiara was a symbol of temporal rule. Why does the Pope need it now?
