No, the scarf (Really called a stole) that the priest and deacon wears is a symbol. Long ago, the stole was for rich people and peopel of high class, the priests were elevated to a high class and so were given the stole, that is why we have them.
But you don't need a scarf for mass.
All Catholics are called to defend the Catholic Church, and they are empowered by the Sacraments to do that very thing.

Roman Catholic AnswerNo. The Episcopal Church is a protestant Church. Many Anglicans are now coming into the Catholic Church and the Holy Father is providing: BENEDICT XVIAPOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION ANGLICANORUM COETIBUSPROVIDING FOR PERSONAL ORDINARIATES FOR ANGLICANSENTERING INTO FULL COMMUNIONWITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCHThus we are talking about an Anglican Ordinary of the Latin Rite. There is no such thing as a Roman Catholic Episcopal Church.
The Catholic Church sees the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, as their infallible leader.
The Catholic Church has never issued rewards for anybody. The only thing that the Catholic Church did to Martin Luther was to formalize his excommunication, see it at the link below:
There is no such thing as a bar baptism in the Catholic Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only thing that the Catholic Church has to do with paganism is to preach the Gospel to pagans and try to bring them to God to save their souls.

Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as "tihing tray" in the Catholic Church.
The only thing different about a Catholic Cathedral is that it contains the Bishop's cathedra (his throne), other than that, everything else that happens in a Cathedral is exactly the same thing that happens in any Catholic Church.
Same thing as the Catholic Church. The Lutheran church began as an off shoot of the Catholic Church. Bread/ juice is used or crackers/juice/wine.
.Catholic AnswerFor Mass the Bishop wears the same thing that a priest does: alb, stole, cincture, chausable. The only thing different on a Bishop, he would be wearing a pectoral cross, a zuchetto and a miter.
