I've heard that Scalia is a member of Opus Dei. So his support of good old fashioned Catholicism makes a lot of sense.

P.S.: In response to the lame Inquisition aside: The Inquisition was initially formed to counter vigilante justice imposed on suspected heretics by average citizens. Most people brought before the Inquisition were not tortured or killed, etc. The Inquisition required at least two witnesses to the heresy (so that neighbors couldn't fink on neighbors to acquire their property.) The vigilantes didn't require such legal niceties.

But since the original book on the Inquisition was written by a biased Protestant, and people would rather parrot that book than the historical facts, I guess I should just shut up about it.

So they didn't just randomly kill people for heresy - they required two witnesses first. I guess the inquisition wasn't such a bad idea after all.
