I know HH Pope Benedict XVI is striving for that happy balance and justice to faith and tradition - albeit all the silly criticism he's getting from those who don't understand what he is doing and why it is important.

Hilary, mitres ...Ssssssh Chris, don't tell anyone.<br /><br />Hilary, mitres are supposed to be white, golden or precious (jewelled, embroidered etc). Miter's matching vestments is new, coming from Anglicanism, I think. I have never heard of or seen a picture of a black one.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-67599329207224248222006-11-17T18:22:00.000+00:002006-11-17T18:22:00.000+00:00Looks like a black mitre, and black chasuble.
