It is time and nothing, absolutley nothing more connects the Papacy to the past and tradition than the tiara....That is the objective of this Pontificate, so let's encourage its' use;;;;
It would not be appropriate for the Holy Father to simply start wearing the tiara. No pope did until his coronation. Benedict XVI chose not to be crowned, and therefore he does not have a right to use it, nor, incidentally, the canopy nor the flabella.
Yes, we want the tiara back again, but it must be wanted again by the Holy Father.
