.Catholic AnswerThe most noticeable thing associated with the Pope is, of course, his robes. Priests wear black choir cassocks, bishops wear purple, and cardinals wear red. The Pope wears white, this is because many years ago a Dominican was elected pope and he continued to wear his white habit, thus establishing a new custom. His zucchetta is also white. He usually carries a crozier with a crucifix on it, instead of the shepherd's hook that bishop's carry. Rome has been the home of the Pope since St. Peter moved there in the first century, and the Vatican has been particularly associated with him since very early on, when St. Peter's Basilica was built there. The first record we have of a Pope building a residence adjacent to St. Peter's is Pope Symmachus (498-514).
There has not been a Pope Marcellinius but there has been a Pope St. Marcellinus and yes, he was a Catholic pope.
