Q. 1. Do priests still wear gloves? I heard that they used to wear clerical gloves on some occasions.

A. 1. Gloves used by clerics must always be black, and are not used during a liturgical celebration. The master of ceremonies alone may make use of white gloves, and is the only one allowed gloves while vested in choir. The Pope also uses white.

Anglo-Catholic and Old Catholic bishops also sometimes make use of the gloves, also known as "Episcopal gloves," especially when celebrating forms of the Tridentine Mass. Episcopal gloves are used only at a Pontifical Mass, and then only up to the washing of the hands before the Eucharistic Sacrifice.
