Oct 6, 2021 at 14:30 comment added eques "Bishops wear an amethyst ring, and purple cinctures," that's not correct. Bishops may wear any stone in their ring except sapphire traditionally (reserved for Cardinals). The purple of bishops is Amaranth purple and was originally worn by Roman prelates as members of the Papal Court. It only eclipsed the use of green by bishops in the early modern era
Dec 24, 2013 at 6:22 comment added Jayarathina Madharasan @AndrewLeach: You mentioned crozier will be used "facing backwards". But few months back in Fr.Z's blog I read that the rule book says “Always with the (top) part (_of the crozier_) turned away from himself, namely, turned toward the people or things which he is looking at.” That “always” means that this applies to any sort of bishop anywhere. So which is correct?
