The Mass used to include the papal coronation ceremony, but that part of the celebration has not included in the Mass since Pope John Paul I was officially installed as Pope in 1978. His predecessor, Pope Paul VI, was the last one or to use a papal tia.

The papal inauguration now involves the formal granting of the canopy, a white wool band adorned with crosses that are used with papal clothing, a symbol of the universal jurisdiction of the Pope.

Duration his first homily after chosen as Pope, Leo said that he would be a “faithful administrator” of the Church and warned against the reduction of Jesus to “a kind of charismatic or superman leader.”

Lamented that there are many environments in the modern world where people favor “technology, money, success, power or pleasure” about Christian faith. “These are contexts in which it is not easy to preach the gospel and testify to the truth, where believers are mocked, opposite, despised or, in the best of cases, tolerated and pity,” said the new Pope. “However, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary reach is desperately necessary. The lack of faith is tragic accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the negligence of mercy, the manolation of the famous Founan wounds that afflict our society.”
