Papal Claims to Authority

Here you see the coat of arms for the Vatican City State . Take

note of the crown on top, a symbol of papal authority. It is a

triple tiered crown, that is also called a tiara or triregno in

Latin.

Concerning the extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and infallibility.

(Quoadea quoeconcernunt papae dignitatem, auctoritatem, seu potestatem, et

infallibilitatem.)

#1. "The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not mere man, but as it were

God, and the vicar of God."

(#1. "Papa tantae est dignitatis et cesitudinis, ut non sit simplex homo, sed quasi Deus, et

Dei vicarius.")

#13. "Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of

the lower regions."

(#13. Hinc Papa triplici corona coronatur tanquam rex coeli, terre et infernoram.")

#18. "As to papal authority, the Pope is as

it were God on earth, Sole sovereign of all

the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings,

having a plentitude of unbroken power,

entrusted by the omnipotent God to

govern the earthly and heavenly

kingdoms."

(#18. "Deveniendo ad Papae auctoritatem,

Papa est quasi Deus in terra unicaus

Christifidelium princeps, regum omnium

rex maximus, plenitudinem potestatis

continens, cui terreni simul, ac coelestis

imperii gubernacula ab omnipotenti Deo

credita sunt.")

John XXIII wearing the triregno crown

presented to him in 1959.

#30. "The Pope is of so great authority and power, that he is able to modify,

declare, or interpret even divine laws."

(#30. "Papa tantae est auctoritatis et potestatis, ut possit quoque leges divinas

modificare, declarare, vel interpretari, ad num.")

Papal Claims to Authority

Source: Lucius Ferraris, “Papa,” art. 2, in his Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,

Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica. (“Handy

Library”), Vol. 5, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition, column

1823, Latin.

Here are the relevant Scanned pages from Ferraris' Prompta Bibliotheca for those

who would like to see the original Latin text of the above quotes.

These papal claims, to include the presumed authority to modify the divine laws of God,

were specifically prophesied in the book of Daniel:

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear

out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: (of the

most High) and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the

dividing of time.

It is a remarkable fact that the first instance upon record in which the bishop

of Rome attempted to rule the Christian church was by AN EDICT IN

BEHALF OF SUNDAY. It had been the custom of all the churches to

celebrate the passover, but with this difference: that while the eastern churches

observed it upon the fourteenth day of the first month, no matter what day of

the week this might be, the western churches kept it upon the Sunday

following that day; or rather, upon the Sunday following Good Friday. Victor,

bishop of Rome, in the year 196, 36 took upon him to impose the Roman

custom upon all the churches; that is, to compel them to observe the passover

upon Sunday. "This bold attempt," says Bower, "we may call the first essay of

papal usurpation." 37 And Dowling terms it the "earliest instance of Romish

assumption." 38

Papal Claims to Authority

In the coronation of all popes — including

Pius XII, on March 12, 1939 — the tiara is

placed on the candidate’s head with the

words:

“Receive the tiara adorned with three

crowns and know that thou art Father of

princes and kings, Ruler of the world, Vicar

of our Savior Jesus Christ.”*

If this phraseology had not been sanctified

by long usage, it would not have been

coined in this generation to express the

relation of the pope to the political and

social order; but it would not have been

created in the first place if it had not meant

then what it says — “Ruler of the world.”

* According to the Vatican web site , this interpretation of the triple crown is found in the Pontificale Romanum

Clementis VIII, Editio Princeps (1595-1596), the official liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. See below for

the Latin wording.

The Papal Tiara

The occasions on which the Pope wears the tiara are laid down by Papal

protocol as follows:

(a) at Mass for his coronation;

(b) at Mass for the Feasts of the Epiphany, the Annunciation,

Easter, the Ascension, SS Peter and Paul, All Saints, and on the

third Mass on Christmas Day; and

In addition the tiara is worn on certain special occasions such as the

canonization of a new Saint.

THE TIARA or triple crown is not, properly speaking, so much an

ecclesiastical as it is a royal ornament; it was supposed to have been first worn

only with a single coronet, by Pope Sylvester in the time of the emperor

Constantine. Innocent III. about the year 1200. writes, that the church gave to

himself a crown for the temporal dominion and a mitre for the priesthood. It is

generally thought that Boniface VIII. about the year 1300. was the first who

added a second coronet to shew the spiritual supremacy and the temporal

power united: and about twenty years afterwards John XXII. or according to

others Urban V. more than sixty years later, placed the third coronet upon it,

thus making a tiara to exhibit the pontifical, the imperial, and the royal

authority combined. To the wearer and to the beholder instructive lessons are

taught, the one and the other are admonished that the head upon which it is

borne is supposed to be endowed with proper science, as it certainly possesses

power of government, and spiritual jurisdiction; and the variety of its

knowledge should emulate the beauty of that decoration which is externally

shewn.

The most respected of the

ecclesiastical symbols, the tiara,

or triregno , is also a symbol of

the pope's authority over the

Church. No one knows for

certain when the tiara originated,

and it has undergone many

changes since it first appeared at

the Papal Court. The tiara

comprises three separate crowns,

or diadems. The bottom crown

appeared in the ninth century as

ornamentation at the base of the

mitre.

When pontiffs assumed the

temporal role of sovereign

princes, they further adorned the

base decorations with the jeweled

crown of the princes of the time.

The second crown was added by

Pope Boniface VIII in A.D. 1298

to represent his spiritual

dominion. By A.D. 1315, the

triregno appears in the

documentation of the Papal

Treasury.

Tiara regularly used to dress

the Vatican's statue of Peter.

Film of the funeral procession of Pius XII

From Rome In Colour

On the left is a silver-gilt triregno tiara set with imitation stones that has been used since

1736* to dress the statue of Peter in St. Peter's Basilica on June 29th, the Solemnity of St.

Peter and St. Paul . On the right the same tiara appears to be on top the hearse in the funeral

procession of Pius XII. It is an oversized tiara made especially to fit the statue of Peter, and

is too large for any Pope to wear.

In the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C., a triple-

tiered papal tiara is on permanent display (See #6 in the virtual tour of the crypt church).

This tiara is shown above being worn by Pope Paul VI, who offered to sell it to benefit the

poor, however Cardinal Spellman of New York persuaded the pope to donate it to the

Catholics of the U.S. in the hope that it would inspire offerings for the world's poor. The

medal shown above, depicting the coronation of Pope Paul VI, was sold, and the proceeds
