The sash of the papal cassock has traditionally had a decoration at the end of it. Pope Francis asked that it be removed to be in more conformity with his humbleness compared to other popes who preceded him.
Pope Leo’s cassock does not have the decoration, but that was from the cassocks in the room of tears. Hopefully a cassock truly tailored to him will eventually have it?
Should the papal sash be humble with no decor or ornately proud with decor?
Should the red shoes of the fisherman reappear?

No cars have quarter windows, mohair or 3 on the tree anymore. But they could...
