"...Francis continues to wear a simple white cassock and iron cross. "

That's gonna raise some eyebrows.

The swastika-looking image was on the backs of priests’ vestments (facing the people) during Mass for centuries, a symbol of S.S. - Sanctus, Sanctus (Holy, Holy), in the form of the Cross of Christ. And the Romans used it as a sign of royalty or victory.

It’s not the symbol or name, it’s the intent behind it, as used.
