Scalia opines on faith and justice

Devout U.S. Catholics like himself may stand apart from much of the nation on abortion, homosexuality, and embryonic stem-cell research, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia told a packed audience at Villanova University yesterday, but he insisted "there is no such thing as a 'Catholic judge.' "

"The bottom line is that the Catholic faith seems to me to have little effect on my work as a judge," he declared.

There is a Catholic way to look at vouchers!
