Quote from: MyrnaM[/img]Actually, Pope Francis is using the Papal staff used by popes Pius XII and John XXIII, which is similar to the papal staff used by Pope Pius IX.Pope Benedict XVI revived this papal staff during his pontificate, a vast improvement over the ugly bent crucifix used by Paul VI and John Paul IIStarting from His Holiness Pope Innocent III, the popes in the Middle Ages used a papal staff with three bars, the three bars representing the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Three Divine Persons of the One True God.A statue of Pope St. Sylvester depicting him with the three barred Papal Cross
