The rest of his apparel has pagan pics and ties also.
I hope I didn't spoil the next question you might ask.
Anyway, his cloak has representations for the god Isis.

The mitre or (from the Greek μίτρα meaning 'headband' or 'turban'), is the traditional, ceremonial head-dress of bishops and certain abbots in the following Christian Churches:
+ Roman Catholic Church
+ The Anglican Communion
+ Some Lutherans
+ Eastern Orthodox Church
+ Eastern Catholic Churches
+ Oriental Orthodox Churches
The mitre is the hat worn by bishops, the successors of the Apostles, who Jesus chose to be fishers of men.
By a slight coincidence, the Philistines (remember Goliath) had a fish god called Dagon.
By the same slight coincidence, the Pope's hat is connected to the H. Salt Fish and Chips franchise. http://www.hsalt.com/main.htm
With love in Christ.

because of the fact bowing in the direction of something or in front of something would not equivalent worship. Worship is something you do alongside with your coronary heart, innovations and soul. The action of bowing isn't worship, that's barely showing reverence and honor to what the statue represents. additionally, this is been defined repeatedly in this communicate board that for the time of Latin there are distinctive stages of honor with purely one being worship belonging to God. yet while translated into English...distinctive stages continuously translate into an identical word...worship. this is because of the fact we purely have one word while Latin has 2. Latria that's reserved for God on my own and hyperdulia that's a point of reverence due the Blessed Virgin. there is not any Pope, who could ever say we worship Mary. because of the fact this could be fake, and a heresy. All Catholics be attentive to this, surprisingly Popes. the venture is the language of the Church is Latin, and while translated in many circumstances motives fundamentalists to misconceive. in case you analyze the hyperdulia and latria you will discover out precisely what i'm speaking approximately.

Dagon the fish god was shaped similar to the jesus fish emblems people put on their cars minus the triangular car. This is the same formation of the popes hat.
Kerri B, the upside down cross in the throne that the pope sits on is to represent how Peter was crucified. Remember that catholics pray to dead saints. This throne type chair with the upside down cross is found at the vatican, Saint Peters Basillica.

As the pope bears the keys of Janus, so he wears the mitre of Dagon.
The excavations of Ninevah have put this beyond all possible doubt.
The popes mitre is a two horned mitre and is totally different from the mitre of Aaron and the jewish high priests.

It is symbolic of the Age that we are in now. You will note that the "fish" symbol that Christians use came from this same worship. They may not know it though.
I would say that those on top of the Catholic Church know exactly what God that they worship. It is not the Abrahamic God.
