[edit] doctoral biretta
There are variations in the doctoral biretta. The 4th ridge is the essential difference. The piping/tuft is apparently optional, although I suppose anyone who went out of their way to get one would get the colored options too.[1] The only link a google search for "licentiate biretta" gives is a store, which only has it available with blue tuft/piping for all subjects.[2] Gimmetrow 04:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Peakless Corner
Does anybody know why the flat side goes on the left? There must be some reason.72.227.136.130 23:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tuftless birettas
Do deacons'/seminarians' birettas have the pom?
The reason for the flat side on the left, is because the Priest/seminarian elevates the biretta off the head with the right hand, during doxologies and the name of Our Lord.
In answer to the seccond question: Seminarians, Sub-Deacons, Deacons and Priests wear the same kind of biretta. So they will have Tufts, or not, depending on the type they wear.
