Something About This Picture Is Troubling?

I happened upon this picture of the Cardinal of Vienna from the early century until 1955. Something about this picture of the man who is supposed to represent Jesus Christ as a shepherd and servant of his congregation that is disturbing. The Cardinal whose sitting all pompous in a gilded chair like some kind of king with a gold cross, royal robes and a train with enough fabric to cover the windows at the Palace of Versailles. Perhaps humble restrain in one's position as servant and representative of Christ would be more appropriate. I know symbolim is important in the church but the symbols of good deads and acts should be enough. These kinds of palatial symbols are distracting from the life and message of Jesus Christ.
