The shirt also has white French cuffs. That's something I've never noticed with clerical shirts before.

Also visiting was a Norbertine brother (I kinow not from where) whose cassock, scapular and mozetta(?) were not-quite-white, sort of ivory.
It made for interesting contrasts amongst all the OSB black.

I have a couple of blue-purple clergy shirts with white French cuffs. I tend to associate the white cuff routine with MDS shirts, but I am sure other makers do it. However, the rest of the French cuffed formal shirts I have are collarless and white. I rarely wear them as I do not have many formal occasions which require civil dress rather the cassock, etc.. That said, one of these days I will finally buy a clerical frock coat as I am not really a big cassock wearer. Too dang hot around here.

I would see that and think 'Canon.' However, I think the coloured pom-pon actually requires some sort of privilege to be granted by the bishop, which I suspect most bishops would grant!

Of course, being of that outlook I would prefer to see Canons decently outfitted with grey silk Almuces

Thanks PD.

This is the page with the birrettas.

Any one know which is for whom? The site doesn't name them as 'rank' specific.

The last one does not seem to have a pom pom.

PD - may I ask - what is a grey almuce? [Smile]

I think (and this is a basic summation)...

Black - Standard
Purple pom-pom - Canon (anglican) or Mgr (catholic)
Entirely Purple - Bishop
Scarlet - Cardinal (catholic). Not really used in Anglican circles, but I know of an AC priest who is Chaplain to HM who has been seen in one on occasion. I also know of a "Cardinal Rector" who has been known to wear one. I think 'local custom' would be pleaded.

I, too, have known "cardinal rector's" to wear red pom-poms, but the excuse had something to do with having a doctorate or some such thing.

In an Anglican context, if I recall correctly, I have seen Desmond Tutu in both scarlet red and bishop's purple. I always just assumed he used the red because of being an archbishop.

That is something you occasional find in Africa. I would imagine scarlet biretta is to go with his chimere as Episcopal purple and doctoral scarlet clash horribly.

I have a purple skullcap and a purple biretta which I wear at Low Mass when I need to make it clear there us a bishop on deck, but they do not get much use. I am not really one for wearing a hat in church, and am very glad that the mitre spends most of its time on the altar folded flat when I celebrate a Pontifical Mass.

How is the biretta worn - on the head, of course!

But in what directions are the fins, and is there ever any variance in custom on this one?

The single fin is to the right, so you can lift it with your right hand. (The sole purpose in wearing it is to be seen ceremoniously taking it off.) The ignorant, especially stage and screen costumiers, prefer it with the finless corner in front, because it looks nicer that way.
My reply on this question is not to be interpreted as meaning I would ever wear one now, or even in my Anglican days.

Can the pink pom pom on a black biretta be something other than a canon, for example, a bishop. Or is a bishop's biretta always red.

A few years ago I saw a priest (?) with quite a pink rather than a red pom pom. I wondered what his 'rank' was. Would the pink just be a shade of red - and so a canon.

I hope the question deosn't seem too fussy. It;s just one of those rather silly things I've always wanted the answer to.

Fr. Temp has a natty little capelet thing that goes on his cassock. Does this natty little capelet have a fancy liturgical name (e.g., NOT "capelet")? Thanks!

The shoulder cape worn over a cassock is sometimes known as a pellegrina, or just as often a shoulder cape.

I have known the whole ensemble to be referred to as a simar, derived from zimarra which is the italian form of a similar over cloak.

this must be distinguished from the Mozetta which is a larger front buttoning over cape and which marks a prelate or other dignitary.

Hope this helps!

I think (and this is a basic summation)...

Black - Standard
Purple pom-pom - Canon (anglican) or Mgr (catholic)
Entirely Purple - Bishop
Scarlet - Cardinal (catholic). Not really used in Anglican circles, but I know of an AC priest who is Chaplain to HM who has been seen in one on occasion. I also know of a "Cardinal Rector" who has been known to wear one. I think 'local custom' would be pleaded.

Can the pink pom pom on a black biretta be something other than a canon, for example, a bishop. Or is a bishop's biretta always red.

A few years ago I saw a priest (?) with quite a pink rather than a red pom pom. I wondered what his 'rank' was. Would the pink just be a shade of red - and so a canon.

I hope the question deosn't seem too fussy. It;s just one of those rather silly things I've always wanted the answer to.

This site would suggest that you ran into an Apostolic Protonotary, generally a titular dignity for RC clergy.

My Google-fu may be off, but I simply cannot answer my question there. I know someone here will know: What does one wear beneath one's choir cassock? Undies, socks, and shoes? Pants and shirt?

Can I wear an alb over a choir cassock, or is that tacky?

Beneath the choir cassock, practically speaking it depends on the weather! Undies, certainly, also socks and shoes. If in orders a clerical collar, if lay, a (detached) white dress shirt collar gives a nice effect.
The old-fashioned Anglo-Catholics said TYTIYS, which being interpreted is 'Tuck your trousers in your socks,' it somehow being less than Catholic to have trouser bottoms showing.

If omitting trousers, be sure the Undie elastic is viable. I have seen a priest lose his underwear while censing the altar - no way to hide that!

Yes, by all means wear choir cassock under alb, it helps it to hang better, as well as being 'by the book.'

That answers the question, I believe.

Thanks, Seasick and georgiaboy. Very helpful.

Oh dear. I thought it was understood that nothing was worn beneath the cassock?

It's all in fine working order.

I'll get me cope.

Don't even think of it in Darwin. Wearing a cassock that is. Best wear something under the cassock you wouldn't be wearing, though. Or the police may be interested.
