The stole represents a priest's authority. The Chasuble represents love. The stole is worn under the Chasuble because authority is always at the service of love, not the other way around. As an aside, I would be remiss if I did not draw attention to the fact that "overlay" stoles (stoles worn over the chasuble) tends to be favorite of progressive clergy. Little to they know what they are implicitly saying by doing that: "Love at the service of authority." Ironically progressive clergy are the ones who love to minimize priestly authority, yet their Liturgical action suggests otherwise!
