In the autobiography titled, “Scalia,” one of Supreme Court Justice Scalia’s professors at Georgetown finished Scalia’s final oral examination with one question: “Which historical event had the most impact on the world?” Although Scalia didn’t remember his final answer, he never forgot his professor’s response.
With disappointment his professor stated, “Mr. Scalia, Jesus’ Incarnation was the most impactful moment in history.”
Even though Justice Scalia attended Catholic schools and cherished his devout faith, he realized that he had compartmentalized his faith from his career. He pledged – never again.
1 Corinthians 15:21 says, “For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.”
Justice Scalia went on to write some brilliant opinions because of his faith. Does your faith impact your work?
