Understand why some cardinals wear black clothes on the conclave


Difference in clothing for the most part has attracted attention


Summary

Some cardinals use black beats in the conclave due to specific traditions of the oriental Catholic churches, which have their rites and disciplines in communion with the Pope.




An image attracted attention at the beginning of the conclave on Wednesday 7. Among the cardinals with mostly red clothes, some of the participating religious wore black battles.

The explanation of this is simple and involves the tradition of different regions. In this case, this difference in clothing is because oriental Catholics are churches, which follow liturgical rites, disciplines and their traditions, even if they maintain communion with the Pope.
