The power of clothing at Pope Francis' funeral

If there's one thing the Catholic Church knows how to do very well, it's powerfully convey power and authority through clothing. Good designs are those that don't need to change over time and, therefore, become timeless. In their case, they wear clothing that dates back to the medieval period and has survived with few variations to the present day. This explains why garments like the cassock are considered a suit, since, at the time their dress code was established, men didn't yet wear trousers. Clothing that is based on formal simplicity to reinforce the idea of a supposed renunciation of material goods. which falls to pieces when you see displays like today's, where the Church displays the tentacles of its power like a peacock.
