The mitre (Commonwealth English) (/ˈmaɪtər/; Greek: μίτρα, "headband" or "turban") or miter (American English; see spelling differences), is a type of headgear now known as the traditional, ceremonial headdress of bishops and certain abbots in traditional Christianity. Mitres are worn in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Communion, some Lutheran churches, for important ceremonies, by the Metropolitan of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church, and also, in the Catholic Church, all cardinals, whether or not bishops, and some Eastern Orthodox archpriests.

A handsome and fairly simple puzzle. I have just learned about the "nolo episcopare" rule- that a priest asked to be a bishop is supposed to say, "I do not want to be a bishop." If what he's saying is true, it makes him more qualified to be a good bishop, since he's not doing it out of personal ambition. I think this is a good principle and I wish a way could be found to reconcile it with democracy.
