Every time I see the Pope, he's wearing very ceremonial looking clothes which I assume have a specific meaning for his office. I'm curious to know if he would be allowed to wear something similar to a regular priests garb (black suit with a clerical collar) or even street clothes while in public. If not, does he have a private dress code?
(Obviously no one knows what he wears when hes alone, but if he was say seeing his doctor or something else private)
I know cardinals, bishops and other roles in the church also have specific clothes, so are they also allowed to "dress down"?
