[edit] Diocese Size
I believe the Holy See is larger than the Archdiocese of Chicago. According to catholic-hierarchy.org, the Holy See has 2,454,000 members while the Archdiocese of Chicago has 2,442,000 members. Where did you see that Chicago was larger? Pmadrid 11:20, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
According to the same source, the Archdiocese of Mexico (see in Mexico City) has 7 million members. I think it is safe to say that the Archdiocese of Mexico holds the crown for largest diocese in Catholicism, seeing that Mexico City is the second largest city in the world and 90% Catholic. Now that I think of it, though, the city might actually be divided into several dioceses. Pmadrid 11:27, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Franco
Pure nonsense. Franco imposed the biretta, never the galero. And the same was done by a number of chiefs of state, including the president of the very liberal French Republic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.163.101 (talk) 12:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Galero
Far from being fictitious, the green, purple and black galero were in use during the medieval ages. Though the green and the purple has fallen out of use. We are still using the black galero. In fact, you can still buy these hats in many stores making ecclesiastical vestments here in Rome. The shop of Gamarelli is a good place which gives you choices of black galeros they make, according to price and quality.

- Adjusted. The colors have some basis in history. However, this article discusses the "galero" like a cardinal's, not the "roman hat" (capello romano) which does come in black. Who would wear a black galero? Gimmetrow 02:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
