Yeah, even Pope Benedict XVI has worn mitres smaller than the one Archbishop Burke is wearing in the pic. That one is a more traditional design I guess.

It was explained to me that the color of the hat (mitre) is significant but it is only recently that I noticed the difference in size as well and was wondering if it is also significant.
