The liturgical hat worn by Catholic bishops is called a miter (sometimes spelled, mitre). The miter is worn over a small skull-cap called a zuchetto, which can be used by all clerics in a color according to their rank. There are three types of miters identified in traditional Catholic circles: the simple miter, the gold miter, and the precious miter-- each has a specific use and meaning in the liturgy. Indeed, the bishop may use different miters at different points in the same Mass. In the contemporary Church, the distinctions of these three miters are rarely made outside of Rome. (You will notice however, for instance, that while the pope wears a precious miter at pontifical Masses, the cardinal deacons assisting him will typically wear a simple miter.) The miter may be a descendant of the priestly cap worn by the Jewish high priest, but is more directly traced to its use by early popes as Bishop of Rome. In recent centuries the use of the miter as a pontifical vestment was limited to full use by bishops. Many (priest-) abbots and some (priest-) monsignors were also granted the use of the miter. The practice of granting use of the miter is no longer given to monsignors since the reforms the 1960's.
