"The mantum is a long cape that popes sometimes wear as a sign of their authority, Beck said. It's a vestment that fell out of use, but was revived by Benedict XVI, seen here. The mitre, Beck said, is a cone-like head dress worn by all bishops as a sign of their episcopacy. ""Abbots can also wear it,"" Beck said. ""It is not unique to the pope, but it replaced the tiara on the Papal Coat of Arms with Benedict, and now Francis."""
