That's his Blasphemy Decoder Device, sometimes called a "Mark Thomas Box."
Basically, whenever he says something blasphemous, that device is supposed to reinterpret it in an orthodox Catholic way, rephrasing it in the best possible light and usually with copious quotes from other post-Conciliar popes.
The batteries died several years ago, but he still wears it out of habit.
"On Dec. 18, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruini told Crux the device was a rarely used radio microphone, which had to be put on the pope in that tight space because of the angles and acoustics involved."

I was going to say "insulin pump," but Marc is probably right.
Perhaps he has been assimilated by the Borg? They use him to tirelessly speak when he really shouldn’t. They have renamed him, ‘Loquacious’.
Frankly I don’t care.
I would venture a guess that it's a TENS unit that the pope uses as a result of his chronic sciatica, which causes him to limp sometimes.

Blasphemy! Insulin! Borg! TENS!
Y'all are crackpots.
I don't believe this person Matteo Bruini. I can't be sure such a person actually exists. And anyway, my theory is much more likely.
