Best Answer

It symbolizes that the pope is prophet, priest and king. As king it symbolizes a crown, for the pope is a temporal ruler, having both lands and subjects as well as dictating political concerns relative to his position and involvement. As priest it is a headdress symbolizing his authority to teach as well as the authenticity of his office as official head of the Christian Church. As prophet, it symbolizes his appointment and selection by God to speak in His name on matters of discernment and interpretation.
