…with the flabellum, the sedia gestatoria, and the triple crown? It would be wonderful…
 
The tiara is not worn for liturgical functions, except when John XXIII celebrated in the Byzantine rite, when he treated it as the equivalent of the Eastern mitre.

I sorta hope not – at least not any time soon. I think the recent popes knew what they were doing when they discontinued their use. I applaud them all.

The use of the fan and the mobile chair seems to impart a certain effete character today. I would much prefer a strong pope who can march amongst the people wearing the mitre of his fellow (western) bishops, and a church that’s not so full of flies and oppressive heat that the pontifical celebrant needs to be fanned…

I agree with you about not using the flabellium and the sedia gestoria, but I would like to see Pope Benedict XVI to wear the tiara and use the real papal staff or papal crosier (upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/San_Silvestro.JPG/180px-San_Silvestro.JPG) when celebrating the Tridentine Mass only. For the New Order of the Mass, the mitre and the bent papal cross is appropriate for it.

I don’t believe there is a official or “real” papal staff/crosier…
