Question about the protocol; since most Popes die in office instead of retiring, was the gift to Francis personally or to the Papacy? I would expect that except for a few personal effects that might go to family members, most of a Pope’s possessions remain church property.

I believe it would remain with the Vatican.

It should belong to Benedict who is the real Pope. Francis is an usurper. Just Ike his great buddy, Barack Obama, was.
