The Pope Wears the Camauro... Wow !!!

December 21st, 2005

Not since John XXIII has a living Pope been seen wearing the Camauro. The media went wild describing the Pope as wearing a "Santa hat". Fat lot the media experts know about Papal history and vesture ! I notice that the Pope must have been exceptionally cold during his Wednesday audience this week since he is wearing the Papal great cloak and underneath over his cassock he has the Greca or white ankle-length overcoat on as well. The style of the Camauro or hat is unfortunately not exactly correct but I NEVER expected this.....

St Pius X revived its use at the beginning of the Twentieth Century

John XXIII was the next living Pope seen wearing it

What ELSE has he got up his sleeve ? This Pope NEVER ceases to surprise me - I (for once) am speechless !!!!
