Referring in his inauguration homily to coronation with the papal tiara, John Paul II said: " This is not the time to return to a ceremony and an object considered, wrongly, to be a symbol of the temporal power of the Popes.

Pope John Paul I, however, declined to follow Paul VI's constitution and opted for a simpler papal inauguration, a precedent followed by his two successors.

Whereas Pope Paul's Romano Pontifici Eligendo explicitly required that the new pope be crowned, the new Apostolic Constitution wrote more ambiguously of the inauguration of the pontificate without spelling out specifically by name whether than inaugurating ( i. e., formal ceremonial beginning of ) the pontificate involves either the old enthronement ceremony, the Papal Coronation or the version used since 1978, the Papal Inauguration.

Since the inauguration of Pope John Paul I, it has not included the 820-year-old ( 1143-1963 ) papal coronation ceremony.

However, Pope John Paul I, elected in the August 1978 conclave, wanted a simpler ceremony, and commissioned Virgilio Noè, the Papal Master of Ceremonies, to design the inauguration ceremony that was used.

Three modern popes have now used an inauguration ceremony without coronation: Pope John Paul I, Pope John Paul II, ( both in 1978 ) and Pope Benedict XVI ( 2005 ).

Pope Benedict XVI maintained those changes and also shortened, as explained below, the ceremony of homage previously paid at a papal inauguration by each cardinal individually, repeating the " act of homage and obedience " made in the conclave to the new pope before the announcement of his election to the people.
