Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 10: mozzetta
The Catholic love of capes continues with the mozzetta, which is part of the choir dress set of vestments worn during a liturgical ceremony that isn't mass or by clergy attending a mass who aren't involved with preparing or distributing the Eucharist. The color of the mozzetta can denote rank (scarlet for cardinals, purple for bishops, etc.) or membership of a specific order.
The pope has five different mozzettas to choose from, four red and one white. Two ermine-lined ones were not used by John Paul II (one for winter and one for use during the Easter season). Benedict brought them back, though I have to say seeing the winter one I think it can go back into disuse. It's a little showy for a pope.
