<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1638596, member: 4626&quot;]A lot of this is traditional and ceremonial as a matter of course, destruction of the ring of the fisherman, various vestments, etc.&nbsp; None of the &quot;personal&quot; effects destroyed when a pope dies (or resigns) are truly personal property of the pope; they really all are considered to belong to the Church.&nbsp; Anything that belonged to the pope before he became pope, he still gets to keep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
