this is no longer my blog

For my first installment of Pastor Chic, I thought that I would highlight the "biretta." As far as I know it is soley a Roman Catholic item, and for that I thank Martin Luther for his work in getting that ball called the Reformation rolling, so that I do not have to wear this:

I'm not exactly sure what they are really for, other than to make the priest look silly. Nothing beats a worship service led by a man in a puffball beanie, as seen here:

So there you have it. The biretta. If anyone could give me any good reason why anybody should ever wear one of those, you will be my hero.
