Cardinal's red hat

It is called a biretta or beretta

Thanks, Abbie. You always provide prompt answers.

As of the definition given: biretta - a square cap worn by Roman Catholic priests

1. I thought that the caps that Roman Catholic priests wear were round-shaped. Was I wrong?

2. Does the Pope also wear a biretta (the white one)? What's its name if it's not a biretta? Is it round or sqaure? Is it always white? Does t

The hat the Pope wears is called a mitre. Cardinals and bishops may also wear a mitre, but theirs is less luxurious than the Pope's.

here you will find pictures of mitres.

This site will show a picture of a biretta. the black one on the top line is the Roman Catholic one.

Hi Abbie,
Thanks for sharing and the correction. I appreciate it.

mitre/miter : I think that's what you meant. See the picture below.
In the picture, what does the Pope hold on his hand?

The one that I was questioning is the little white hat the Pope wears on his head, not the whitle cape he wears. Do we have a special name for it. See the picture below.

I have no idea why the mitre do

00The colour simply denotes rank within the church hierarchy, so that in a crowd of priests you can tell who's who. This is why the pope always wears white. He is the only person in the church hierarchy to be drssed totally in white all the time. 0-

0 The Pope never wears a biretta. In the past, in place of a biretta, the popes wore a soft red velvet cap lined in fur called a camauro. John *** tried to revive it but it really fell into disuse in the 19th century. 02br

00The bodies of Blessed John ***, Blessed Pius IX and St. Pius X are on display in vestments wearing the camauro. 0-
