Justice Scalia Speaks at Baton Rouge Holiday Inn

The Advocate reports on a speech made by Justice Scalia to the Knights of Columbus Council 969, which was celebrating its centennial.

Scalia praised "traditional Catholics" who say the rosary, go on pilgrimages, kneel during the Eucharist and "follow religiously the teaching of the pope," adding that "intellect and reason need not be laid aside for religion. It is not irrational to accept the testimony of eyewitnesses who had nothing to gain. There is something wrong with rejecting a priori (deductively) the existence of miracles."

The article notes that the Justice did not charge for his appearance.
