Talk:Mitre

message: Not to be rude or anything, but what's the point of having all these pictures? A mitre looks pretty much the same no matter which Pope or bishop is underneath it. It seems to me one or two are sufficient to convey the overall appearance. TCC (talk) (contribs) 07:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  It would be different if the pictures were of different types, periods or churches, so as to illustrate a true variety.  But all the pictures in the gallery are of twentieth century Roman Catholics which is of very limited interest.  One of these would do.  Could we perhaps find examples from paintings, subject to copyright, from different periods or churches which would be more interesting?Chelseaboy 09:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm. It seems that all the images have questionable licenses too.  Of the Western examples, the photo of JPI claims specific permission (non-GFDL) and the others claim fair use without providing rationale. At least one of them is being formally challenged.  Of the Eastern examples, all of which claim public domain by release of the creator, the one of Pope Shenouda is from a Coptic website , the one of Patr. Alexei is from a website on Vladimir Putin, and that of Patr. Pavle is from a website run by a Serbian diocese . In no case is there a release of copyright.

text: An image gallery would be helpful in this article to show the variety of types and the historical evolution of the mitre, but as it exists now, there are way too many pictures of similar looking mitres, all of which are of the Eastern type.  Pictures of interesting mitres from Western Christianity would be a good addition.  Dgf32 (talk) 21:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

text: There is something very wrong with the picture of Patr. Alexei, and it looks like the photo was modified recently.

message: Could anyone clarify if Archdeacons wore Mitres, before the reformation, in Great Britian and Ireland? Nmclough (talk) 10:18, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The claim about the traditional color of miters is highly doubtful, or at best regional. The famous "Fond du Lac circus" picture, for instance, shows what are clearly colored miters on most of the participants; at the very last, they aren't any semblance of white.

message: In the unattributed quote under the subheading "Byzantine Empire," it is unclear as to whether "the tiara" in question is the papal tiara or tiaras in general. Either could be believed, though, I assume the quote intends to discuss the origin of the papal tiara given the context. The article could be improved by clarification on this point.Coffeemancer (talk) 23:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

message: It seems necessary to provide a citation for the statement that Catholic ecclesial law allows any former Anglican bishop who is ordained a Catholic priest to request to wear a mitre.  Some former Anglican bishops who become Catholic priests are made ordinaries in the Personal Ordinariates established under Angicanorum coetibus; yes, they wear a mitre; but most are not and cannot. --142.163.195.253 (talk) 13:33, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
