[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Catholic tradition men don't wear hats to mass.   But I think even the Pope would rather have someone attend with a baseball hat than not go to mass. [/quote]
The pope wears a beanie at mass. So, yes.[/quote]

There is a difference between ordinary headgear and liturgical headgear. Traditionally, priests wore a hat called a “biretta” during the procession into or out of the Mass and from time to time when seated during Mass, all according to very specific rubrics.

What you refer to as a “beanie” is properly termed a “zuchetto,” and is a part of the pontifical vestments. Even the Pope removes his at the beginning of the offertory.

It is not appropriate for a male congregant to wear a head covering at any time during Mass, possibly aside from one that is worn as part of an official uniform.

A man indulging his vanity and insecurity by wearing head covering at Mass to cover up his balding pate will be calling attention to the problem, not concealing it. [/quote]
