  Papal Inauguration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Papal Inauguration Mass is a liturgical service of the Catholic Church (officiated with elements of both the Latin Rite and Eastern Rite) for the ecclesiastical investiture of the Pope.
The modern Papal Inauguration, based though not exactly modelled on the form used for John Paul I, takes place during Mass (usually in the piazza outside Saint Peter's Basilica) and involves the formal bestowal of the pallium, the symbol of the pope's universal jurisdiction, on the newly elected pope by the senior Cardinal Deacon.
The modern ceremony does not include a Papal Oath, claimed by some traditionalist Catholics to have been sworn by popes before John Paul I. Conservatives criticised its absence, with some sedevacantist groups refusing to accept the legitimacy of the modern popes due to the absence of both the oath and the symbolic tiara.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tiara
The papal crown, a costly covering for the head, ornamented with precious stones and pearls, which is shaped like a bee-hive, has a small cross at its highest point, and is also equipped with three royal diadems.
The first period extends to the time when it was adorned with a royal circlet of diadem; in this period the papal ornament for the head was, as is clear from the "Constitutum Constantini" and from the ninth Ordo of Mabillon (ninth century), merely a helmet-like cap of white material.
The earliest name of the papal cap, camelaucum, as well as the Donation of Constantine, clearly point to the Byzantine East; it is hardly to be doubted that the model from which the papal cap was taken is to be found in the camelaucum of the Byzantine court dress.
