I grew Catholic, and never understood this . . . some of the vestments were kind of silly, but all the ceremonial (non-skull cap) hats worn by bishops, archbishops, cardinals (especially cardinals!) and the pope seem over-the-top silly, not to mention impractical. After all, they are rather easily knocked off by disrespectful hand-slapping, or a sudden gust of wind . . .
(no, I don't know the proper names for those silly hats . . . )
any Biblical justification, for those in the know?
