      Theoretically, he can choose to maintain his own rite's attire. Even some recent Latin rite popes chose to ignore some details of the traditional pope attire eg Pope Francis omitted the full usage of choir dress entirely when he meets foreign dignitaries. He also chose to wear white cassock made of lighter materials. My point is, a pope can choose whatever he want or modify or omit, as long he is recognisable as both the head of Catholic clergy and the head of state.

    all in all, most of these headgear have practical functions rather than symbolic one, probably to make known to the people about a cleric's rank in the clergy or simply to give them more comfort in certain weather. But it would be great if you mention that small hood that were used to be present at the back of every clergy's mozetta. I suppose it is a headdress too.

    Simply Mitre on Good Friday?! I concede, we do fast then, but I’d suspect that all of Holy Week, especially it liturgy of the Triduum would be elevated (other than the notion that it is a time for fasting, it was then that the victory over sin and death was won)!

    • @CatechesisVids

      Father, you can use them at every procession (excluding the entrance and recessional of the Mass). You can use it while wearing a cope over the surplice over the alb or cassock. This attire is also known as the "choir attire."

    The bishop’s zucchetto and biretta were black until recently. In the late 19th century the popes changed it to purple, and let bishops wear it during most of mass. Maybe they thought the church’s image needed a facelift among the political revolutions.

  • @fadiabdallah8388

    What is said about mitres is wrong; the simple and gold mitres had specific roles in the Mass. This was done away with in the new rite and so the reason for the classification no longer applies.
    So the three different categories do not indicate the importance of a feast.

      In correct. It is info that reminds me of my days in the United States Marine Corps. When I became an E-4 I had to take my Dress Blues trousers to the tailor to have the the "blood stripes" sewn on. Those stripes have symbolic meaning in the Corps.
      I've seen photos of various forms or attachments to officer's Dress Blues that have a history, tradition, and regulations to them that are beyond my scope of knowledge. If I recall correctly some or all Marine officers can, under certain conditions or regulations, wear a cape.
      United States Navy, Army or the French Foreign Legion, or Russian Cossack's, British judicial system, long standing institutions and identities have developed overtime clothing and jewelry that denotes certain things about them or the individuals in them. If you ever take an anthropology course you'll discover this one observable thing that distinguishes humans from other animal life.
      To have zero regard for clothing, jewelry, beauty is to become more like a chimpanzee and less like a human.
