What is the theology behind the three crowns? The nature, duties and perogatives of the papal office are many and this appreciation is due chiefly, if not entirely, to the pope being teacher, ruler and high priest whose teachings, authority and spiritual ministration exercise an influence on all humanity. In short, the tiara is not, as the Masons described, just a sign of "temporal power," but a triple crown theological symbol of great importance.
