Best Answer

The crozier is a sign that the bishop is a shepherd who guides his flock (people) gently.

Popes, however, have never carried a crozier but carry ferula which is a staff topped with a cross. Traditionally, the ferula does not have a corpus on it, but may have other designs such as a lamb.
