“So you don’t accept the Catholic Encyclopedia? Gotcha!”
1) Whether I do or don’t is immaterial since the AMERICAN MADE Catholic Encyclopedia is not an authoritative source in such discussions.
2) The definition of pectoral cross in no way precludes it being given to someone as a gift by the pope. He can do what he wants.
Since you want a pope who always lives up to your standards, I suggest you just buy one and continue to live in a fantasy world if that is your thing:
