Three questions please:
1) May a Priest attend services at, say, a Baptist Church?
FATHER JOE
Yes, but he cannot take an active part in the order of service. With permission of the bishop, he might be permitted to preach at a special service. However, such invitations are highly unlikely.

2) If so, would it be acceptable for him to do so wearing his cassock?
FATHER JOE
Yes, he would be expected to identify himself by his clerical garb.

3) I know a priest who rarely wears that “beanie” cap as it frequently falls off, is this acceptable? If not, how do you keep it on?
FATHER JOE
Most priests these days do not wear the black zucchetto and it is not worn with a suit. Worn with the cassock or other vestments, it sits under the biretta.
