The College of Cardinals was started by Pope Anastasius III on November 19, 912 shortly after going insane. The original intention was to train the brightly colored songbirds to go before him in procession and sing. After the birds flew away the first time they were released, the Pope ordered the senior bishops of the Church to dress in red and replace the birds. Since at the time no Pope would “disrespect” the rules lay forth by a predescesor, this new “College of Cardinals” was never disbanded and eventually became entrenched in RCC tradition.
