ReplyDeleteAfter the Cæremoniale Episcoporum, page 204, point 1208 the Monsignori are only allowed to wear "la berretta nera con fiocco
nero" (black biretta with black pompon).
I suppose you're right. _Ut sive sollecite_ 20 doesn't mention the abolition of this biretta, but the _Caeremoniale_ seems to have gone further. _Ut sive_ is such a miserly, mean document.
ReplyDeleteOne often sees Chaplains of His Holiness -- the majority of the world's monsignori, I think -- wearing the violet-tufted biretta, so thankfully the _Caeremoniale_ in this point is ignored by many, or most.
Haha! Josef Cardinal Ratzinger put the mini-birattas on his mini-teddy-bears, just like I did with mine!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to identify this object.
ReplyDeleteIt's a 4 cornered biretta,with folds of felt(scalloped edge) inside,in 4 colours.
It's 2"x2" small.It's almost as hard as a box
so the felt isn't a stuffing
