Very Nice!
And what, may I ask, was the sad fate of your cast off biretta?
The old biretta is not cast off. I thought it would be good to have one at school and church, and I rather like the non-folding new one to the collapsable one.
Splendid! Now you have begun a collection of birettas, and I no longer must weep for your former biretta. I shall look forward to your adding yet another one, an academic biretta, with tuft and piping in doctoral red!
Oh, right – you look like you just landed here from “de old con-tree” I love it. Thanks for the wonderful past weekend with family.
Love the Biretta!!!!!Wish I could afford one… they cost way too much.However, I will spend the money anyhow….very nice.
Looks outstanding, Father. Wear it proudly!
Whatever turns you on is o.k. by me.
Super cool Fr!
I am now a Catholic – I came home! Interestingly enough one of the things I miss from my Anglo-Catholic days is the biretta.It makes a statement. I can imagine trendies writhing in agony when they see it!Keep wearing it with pride Father!With one glance it will tell anyone visiting your Church many things. It will tell them that no clowns will parade down the aisle during Mass. It will tell them that no liturgical dancing will disrupt the liturgy. It will tell them that the priest won’t wander halfway down the Church during the Kiss of Peace. It will tell them that they won’t be expected to say “Good morning Father” at the beginning of Mass. It will tell them that when they put their tongue out to receive Holy Communion they won’t get a disgusted look from the priest (or female minister of the Eucharist).Above all it will tell them that the Mass is going to be celebrated with reverance and dignity and to the glory of God.
Well, your looking very… Fatherly :)-g-
I have to get this out of my system, sorry:I say biretta, you say zuchettobiretta, zuchetto, let’s call the whole thing off!
Fr I just saw your picture with your new biretta, I wish all priests would go back to wearing them, I have a question, is the biretta reserved only for Catholic Priests, or may anyone wear it, was it a emblem of the priesthood or a tradition that evolved. reason I asked is this picture in our local Catholic paper of a sister receiving an education award from the Bishop and she is wearing a biretta! right or wrong
You look downright Edwardian. My pastor wears one for the Tridentine Mass, but it’s been in the vestment cabinet for almost half a century, so it doesn’t look anywhere near as impressive.
I like the Raphael, too, btw.
The aim is for me to look as much like Czar Nicholas as possible….
