I don't approve. Please, please, please don't drop the tiara. It's bad enough there's no more coronation. They'll be dropping it from the papal flag next. The tiara is an historic symbol of long standing and should not be eliminated.

The triple Tiara goes back only to Boniface VIII, with his overreaching attempts to be king of the earth.

Neither Pope St. Gregory VII, nor St. Leo IX never wore one, nor did Popes St. Agatho, Martin I, Gregory the Great, Leo the Great, or Damasus.

What is the big deal? Christ didn't crown St. Peter with a Tiara.

We've disagreed in the past, but of course as a monarchist I'm with you here 100%.
