Shut the darn phone off when in a restaurant or at the dinner table.
Don't brag about what you own or where you've been.
Don't be rude and alienate visitors in church because you don't like the way they dress. Treat them with disdain and they may not come back to any church if they think all Christians are more interested in what they wear than who they are.

If you truly believe that than removing your hat is good manners and respectful. So you remove your hat. He can be excused for not removing his hat initially, but, he was asked to remove his hat by an official, so you remove your hat. That's is it the conversation is over. No one need explain to you why it is proper, the tradition or anything else. You be respectful and remove your hat or you leave.
So what comes next? This person is going to decide whether he needs to go to confession before receiving communion?
