The Pope does not receive any pay, nor does he have a bank account.
He is an elected official who, according to the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, is "the Bishop of Rome, who, in virtue of his position as successor of St. Peter, is the chief pastor of the whole Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth."
While the Pope may not draw a formal salary, we are fairly certain the benefits and honor of such a position make up for the lack of paydays. And he does get to live in the Vatican Palace.
The costume includes: White, heavy knit gown w/ capelet and hat. Color: White. Adult - one size (40-48) Cross sold separately
