I agree, however I can just imagine now their thinking...It seems there is a tiny image of a lamb, next "pretender" will change it to a goat, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Can't see it to well, perhaps it is a goat already!

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 II

Starting 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.
