Cardinal O'Malley will not abandon Capuchin cassock

http://en.romereports.com Nearly an hour after the end of the third general congregations, Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley said he would likely wear his Capuchin cassock until his death.

When asked if he would trade it for the white cassock if elected Pope, O'Malley said no, but not as an act of defiance.

Its not a cassock, its actually called a habit!! I wear the same colored habit! :-)

Good for him...then he has no chance of becoming pope. I admire him, but when you are consecrated a bishop you become part of the diocesan clergy hence the cassock. In the old days, a friar made a bishop from ANY of the Franciscan communities would assume a grey cassock with purple piping and sash, and cardinal, the same but red piping, but always the choir cassock of the appropriate color, however they were never permitted the use of silk for buttons, sash, ferriaolo.
