That he is wearing a traditional saturno. Some things posted are simply for pictures and interest.

Saturnos are traditional

From M. Sesak This is Rome, published 1960

The connection with Rome is not, as C.S. Lewis once described the Church of England, about agreeing with the latest motions of a debating society. It is a connection with Roman tradition, a tradition which is passed on and manifested in its own way in the cultures of all the nations of the world. What the saturno says today, not despite but because they have not been common for half a century, is that we are not attaching ourselves simply to the latest thing. We are attached to the perennial thing, the thing manifested in the recent past by the saturno, and over the centuries by many different types of clerical dress. Clerical dress (and clerical address: how we address clerics) is something which has been surprisingly fluid over the centuries, and in England in particular has gone through a few revolutions. But right now the saturno speaks of a restoration of continuity, the healing of a specific break in the living tradition of the Church. The partisans of this discontinuity want to place us on the opposite side of an unbridgable chasm from the saturno, and so much else, which was taken for granted 60 or so years ago, and for a priest to wear it today say No! What was sacred then is sacred now. What the wise scribe takes from the treasury is not only what is new, but what is old as well.

The (it must be said, tiny) revival of interest in the saturno is part of a creative, energetic, and also somewhat whimsical and self-deprecating, movement which takes the opportunities it finds to assert continuity, romanitas, and the innocent pleasures of elegant headwear, in the face of the ugly, parochial, and solipsistic pressure to deny those things. Associating the saturno with the attack on 'rigid' young priests may just the thing to make it go mainstream.

What's with a saturno?

Blessed John Henry, Cardinal Newman's saturno, in the Birmingham Oratory How could a harmless hat become the object of such strong feel...

So the word 'LIBERATED' is a bt sarcastic?

So the word 'LIBERATED' is a bt sarcastic?

Probably. I assume the word was used as far as others seeing these more traditional items as rigid and stunted. Some see it as being liberated from liberalism. But who cares? There is definitely a trend with returning to more traditional things within the faith. Sarcasm comes from both sides of the fence.

Maybe too much inside baseball.

Pope Francis hated the Saturno and called those who wanted to wear one all sorts of nasty names. Which frankly boosted sales of Saturnos. And now pope Leo wears one. He is acting liberated from the strictures of the former sourpuss pope Francis. And that is a good thing. May he continue to feel liberated from more and more of what pope Francis said and did, and get back to normalcy again.

Buy your favorite priest a black Saturno and your favorite bishop a red Saturno. The pope's already got his.

Gregory Peck looked great in one.

I was looking at those and some are quite pricey. But I’d spring for it to see them wear it.

It looks like a very sensible choice for sun protection.

It's better at keeping the sun out his eyes than a zucchetto.

Just like fellow Chicagoan Father Guido Sarducci.

All Leo needs now is a cigarette and a porny '70s mustache
