Papal Tiara Commissioned and Gifted toBenedict XVIBY SHAWN TRIBE
ust a quick note as some of our readers may be interested in this story published by John
Sonnen about a papal tiara that was gifted to Pope Benedict XVI , commissioned by Dieter
Philippi and crafted by a Bulgarian Orthodox liturgical firm.
The tiara was presented to the pontiff today by Dieter Philippi and a small delegation of
Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.

Gorgeous! Would have made more sense of the lappets were cloth of gold, but, none-the-less it is a stunning
piece perfectly suited for the Vicar of Christ! (Also, notice how Benedict's original coat of arms, complete with
mitre and pallium, were embroidered on the back. Simply marvelous).

Please, no. Hard to see the point of this; the idea of a papal 'coronation' is just so abhorrent and I'm sure the
Pope has far more sense. A gift to the Pope's personal charities would have been so much more to the point.
It is difficult to see how this could ever work from an aesthetic point of view; Benedict is not tall and very slight,
so it would simply look ridiculous if he wore it. I think we're all beyond this sort of nonsense now.

The polemical argument is irrelevant. The tiara was given to the Pope in the name of Christian unity,
so he should wear it in the name of Christian unity. What would better demonstrate the sincerity of his
commitment to ecumenism?

You've got to be kidding, right? The involvement of a small group of Eastern Orthodox (who
had to be contracted to make the thing because good luck finding a Catholic firm capable of
it!) does not exactly make it an ecumenical gesture: that small group does not represent the
whole or even the majority of Orthodoxy, and if the pope were to wear it, it would be a definite
setback to ecumenism -- an assertion of something that the pope (as one bishop, equal
among equals, first in honor, and honor only) hasn't got and never had.

I won't get into the question of whether the wearing of the tiara today would be
advisable or not, but the Pope is certainly more than "one bishop, equal among
equals, first in honor, and honor only" - he is, as the code puts it, "head of the college
of bishops, the Vicar of Christ, and the
pastor of the universal Church on earth. By virtue of his office he possesses
supreme, full, immediate, and universal ordinary power in the Church, which he
is always able to exercise freely."

Not to mention that he is Soveriegn. He is the King of Vatican City, in a very
temporal sense. If various monarchies are allowed to wear their crown

. In past centuries, when the Successor of Peter took
possession of his See, the triregnum or tiara was placed on his
head.
The last Pope to be crowned was Paul VI in 1963, but after the
solemn
coronation ceremony he never used the tiara again and left his
Successors
free to decide in this regard. Pope John Paul I, whose memory is so
vivid in our hearts,
did not wish to have the tiara; nor does his Successor wish it today.
This
is not the time to return to a ceremony and an object considered,
wrongly,
to be a symbol of the temporal power of the Popes....The Second
Vatican Council has reminded us of the mystery of
this power and of the fact that Christ's mission as Priest, Prophet-
Teacher
and King continues in the Church. Everyone, the whole People of
God, shares
in this threefold mission. Perhaps in the past, the tiara, this triple
crown, was placed on the Pope's head in order to express by that

I absolutely disagree with this assessment, except one
part....that Paul VI left the possibility open to his
successors.
You can't possibly know the mind of Benedict XVI. You
cannot make the assertation that he wouldn't want it. You
simply don't know that, unless you talked with His Holiness
right before you made this post.
While Vatican Council II did remind us of the threefold
mission of the Papacy, the fact that the Pope is a Soverign
isn't lost. It was set aside in a liberal gesture, by a socially
liberal Pope. That act didn't change the nature of the
papacy, it changed the view the faithful had of it. Two
entirely different things.
While the tiara might represent the Lord's plan, to take the
symbolism of that plan from the faithful was very reckless
on the part of Paul VI, IMHO. I am sure that most monarchs
today view wearing their crown as a symbol of service, so
why should the Pope be any different?

The
Pope is not an absolute monarch, whose thought and will are law.
On the
contrary, the Pope's ministry is guarantee of obedience to Christ
and
his word. The Pope must not proclaim his own ideas, but bind
himself
constantly and bind the Church to obedience to the Word of God, in
face
of attempts to adapt and water down, in face, as well, of all

I also disagree...the Holy Father IS an absolute elected
monarch. He is the Soverign of Vatican City State and
holdings.
To deny this is a grave mistake. While he may not have the
same territory that he once did, he is still a King. If you
differ, by all means, go to Vatican City and make that
statement offically. I daresay you'll be expelled pretty fast.

Interestingly, while I would have thought the Orthodox might take more issue
with it (and I am sure there are those), its rather interesting to me that many
of them seem rather neutral. A comment I have seen is that to them, it
seems proximate to their Eastern crown form of mitre so they aren't too
worked up about it.
I know there are Eastern Orthodox even here already commenting, as well
as others reading. Feel free to interject.

And for the record...I do NOT think it is advisable that the Pope wear the tiara. "His
rule is over space and time, his throne the hearts of men.." The Pope as Vicar of
Christ proclaims with Christ...my kingdom is not of this world. He is Pope not by
virtue of him being head of the Vatican City State, but as the Shepherd King of Rome.

In Orthodox usage, every bishop gets a crown. It is equivalent to the miter in the West. So I don't see why the
Pope shouldn't get one too, especially if he were to preside at an Eastern Rite service.
From what I've read about B16, he does not seem to have 'monarchical' aspirations, any more than the perks
he enjoys now.

During V2, Bl. John XXIII celebrated in the Byzantine rite with Melkite hierarchs.
He wore Byzantine vestments, except he wore the trigregno instead of the mitra. Alas, he also wore the fanon
and western pallium over the sakkos. The other bishops, following Melkite usage, simply wore their klobuki

Why are American's so worried about 'monarchies' like they are some kind of out-dated idea. It may be a point
of differentiation to those from the USA, but most of the other english-speaking nations are quite happy and at
ease with the idea of a crowned monarch, and the notion of a crowned spiritual 'prince of princes' is't culturally
foreign at all. There is nothing wrong with the Pope being a "monarch"- he just has to be a good one in the
appropriate way.There are plenty of monarchies all over the world today, who are still crowned, still wear
crowns, and still retain the old ceremonial and court positions and dress for occasions, while also maintining
a modern approach. E.G. England, Denmark. These did not throw out their traditions willy nilly in some
misguided attempt at modernisation and still continue to maintain them even today. This fear of 'monarchy'
and the triregnum is misguided and grossly overstated.

I dont think the pope should wear the tiara on a regular basis after all it is not a liturgical vestment, however I
think it should be incorporated into papal ceremonies, carried in prossesions, present at papal coronations
etc. also it should always be present on the papal arms.

Possible compromise:
1) The tiara is to be worn by the Pope during the entrance procession of the Papal Mass of June 29. In short:
he'll actually wear it only once a year. An alternative occasion would be the Urbi et Orbi address and
benediction after the Easter Sunday morning Papal Mass.
2) For canonizations and the other Solemnities, the tiara is to be carried before him during the entrance and
recessional procession and placed on the altar.
3) For all other liturgical celebrations and Masses, he will use only the miter.
I'd like to see the tiara restored for all the occasions when they were used by pre-V2 popes, but I'm a realist.

One hitherto overlooked aspect of the tiara is that it is of priestly origin. The tiara in antiquity was a white,
conival priestly headdress and it was associated with the High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem. So its
principal meaning is priestly, not sovereign.
The crowns were added quite late, the first by Pope Gregory, to affirm the equal status of the Pope with the
Emperor. The Imperial tiara, a circlet of gold studded with gems, with two infule or lappets that later developed
in the tiara's and mitre's infulae, was thus added round the base of the tiara.
The tiara is amongst the most ancient insigna of the Pope, possibly preceding Costantine and therefore at
least as old as the casula.
The tiara is really the Pope's mitre, and was worn almost in the same way.
As others here have remarked, it was certainly not Paul VI that abolished it, in fact its use was foreseen in his
instruction for the coronation of the new Pope.
But now it is political: its abolition was long prepared by certain elements of the Curia and bishpos, who
wanted the mitre as a simbol of the episcopal republic to be....
