The Papal Tiara that was laid aside
now in the Crypt Church of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
"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 on Earth, to Whom is the honour and glory, world without end."
Who can know how much more the poor have suffered since this gesture in the name of "the new spirit of the Church purified," as religious orders especially the Franciscans have closed countless convents?
