THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: Of course there is always the tendency to minimize this, however, this pope is known for teaching through symbols. The return of the papal tiara is highly symbolic, especially after it's absence for nearly five years. Symbolically, it would seem to represent a return to authoritative administration after a period of pastoral instruction. Such a change would be most welcome among the faithful who have endured the tyranny of "progressive tolerance" in the Church for far to long. Our pope has done a marvelous job instructing the faithful on what the Catholic faith is and should be. Now it is time to put some teeth behind it and begin enforcing the message. Whether or not that is the pope's message here remains to be seen, but that's how I'm interpreting it.
