So Pope Benedict has officially retired. We are now between popes in a period known as the interregnum. So what will Pope Benedict wear now that he has retired?
For one thing, he will not wear his signature red shoes. Instead he will wear brown shoes he received as a gift from his visit to Léon, Mexico.
Also, the pope's fisherman's ring will be destroyed which normally happens upon the death of a pontiff.
The former pope will continue to wear his white cassock, but he will not wear the shoulder covering known as a mozzetta.
