Rector of a Basilica Minor


CONGREGATIO DE CULTU DIVINO ET DISCIPLINA SACRAMENTORUM
DE TITULO BASILICAE MINORIS

« Rectori » Basilicae, seu el qui ipsi Basilicae praeest, uti licet in munere exercendo — super vestem talarem vel vestem familiae religiosae et superpelliceum — mozeta nigri colorís, cum oris, ocellis et globulis co­loris rubra.

Congregation for Divine Worship and the Disicipline of the Scaraments
Norms for the Granting of the Title of Minor Basilica
November 9, 1989

The rector of the basilica or the person in charge of it may wear in the exercise of his office — over the cassock or the religious habit and the surplice — a black mozetta [cape] with red piping, buttons, and button holes.

I saw a rector of the basilica wearing in accordance with mozzetta a biretta and zuchetto.
