Do catholics wear beanies?
Roman Catholic AnswerI'm going to step out on a limb here and assume that you're asking if Catholics wear skull caps. The answer is yes, for priests and bishops. It is called a zucchetto, a small round skullcap and it is different colors depending on who is wearing it: The Holy Father wears a white zucchetto, Cardinals wear a red zucchetto, and there is a ceremony when the Holy Father creates Cardinal in which he personally gives them their zucchetto. Purple is for bishops and some Monsignors, and black is for abbots (the ruler of a monastery), although I have seen some priests wearing a black zucchetto as well.
