Papal ferula April 2013. Papal ferula The papal ferula (from Latin "ferula", "rod") is the pastoral staff used in the Catholic Church by the pope. It is a rod with a knob on top surmounted by a cross. It differs from a crosier, the staff carried by other bishops of Latin-rite churches, which is curved or bent at the top in the style of an shepherd's crook. Traditionally, the popes did not use any "ferula", crosier, or pastoral staff as part of the papal liturgy. The use of a staff is not mentioned in descriptions of Papal Masses in the "Ordines Romani"
