From the archives of the New York Times. Click on the text for the larger view.In the comments to my earlier post on the picture below of Roman Catholic Cardinal Raymond Burke presiding at the ordination of deacons, we discussed the gloves that the cardinal wears. I thought perhaps there was a special ecclesiastical name for the gloves, but they are simply ecclesiastical gloves, though a fascinating accessory, surely.
I'd like to know the date of the archived response to the query in the New York Times.
Of course, the questions about the cardinal's gloves are hardly of earth-shaking importance, but I was intrigued by them and wanted to know more about the ecclesiastical accessories.
