I did not know until recently, that papal protocol states that when the pope meets dignitaries who are Catholic, he wears the Mozzetta with the ornate papal stole.
If the dignitary or head of state isn’t Catholic or is a non Christian, the pope removes the papal stole and only wears the red Mozzetta.
Here is a photo, taken this Thursday morning of the pope meeting a Muslim dignitary from Algeria. Note that Pope Leo does not wear the papal stole and also note the wonderful papal throne in the room!
And a couple of more photos showing the recovery ❤️🩹 of papal dignity:

A liberal priest asked me what I thought of the new pope. I said that at least he dressed the part. Was it just my imagination or did he walk away muttering to himself?
