Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke
Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, Cardinal Burke is one of the few great guardians of our traditions today. It would be nice to see him wearing the Ring of the Fisherman one day, wouldn't it? I think so!
Pope St. Pius X
The last pope to be made a saint. He was a great and holy man, follow his example. St. Pivs, Ora pro nobis!

The Tiara and Coronation of Pope Paul VI
The Tiara of Pope Paul VI at his coronation in 1963. Bring back the coronation for the Popes! There hasn't been a coronation since this very one took place in 1963, and it has been replaced with the "Papal Inauguration."
The Papal Tiara of Benedict XVI
How great would it be if this was reality? I pray the Holy Father truly decides to wear the tiara again for the goodness of the Church.
