THE LATEST (OR EARLIEST?) ECCLESIASTICAL ATTIRE FOR CARDINALS



What can I say? I asked my expert consultant on ecclesiastical vestments if the objects on either side of the Cardinal Raymond Burke's hat were pom-poms, and he replied that they were "the tassels that hang down the side of a cardinal's hat, apparently sutured into place on top of the hat". There you have it.

Thanks to Lapin for the picture.

UPDATE: The cardinal's hat may be a galero.
