* Archbishops in Rome were usually appointed Assistants to the Papal Throne or members of the Papal Household, where purple was used as the livery color.

† The train is abolished for all ranks of the clergy.

‡ For persons wishing to view a fine example of the former style choir cassock, it is recommended that they view the film The Cardinal. Both the opening and closing scenes of this film depict the former choir cassock on the main character, an archbishop, as he receives the biglietto of nomination to the Sacred College.

* Described by the Holy See as “laying aside, at this time in history,” or something not in keeping with present practice, yet not an outright abolishment by the competent authority of the Church.

† Although watered silk has been retained for fascia, zucchetto, and ferraiolo.

* So decreed by the fourth Lateran Council (AD 1215).

*Although the double-breasted cassock was commonly in use in Roman seminaries to mark each in a unique way. The North American College’s cassock was black, piped and buttoned in sky blue, whereas the Urbanianum made use of black with red trim and buttons.

* For all priests and prelates residing in or traveling to tropical climates, a papal indult is provided to don a cassock made of fine, lightweight white cloth. Trim should always be in the appropriate prelatial color for the hierarchy. Customs vary for simple priests with either all white cloth (absolutely no silk) or white cloth with black trim.
