Justices attend Red Mass before new term - AP News, 10/5/08:
Four of the five Roman Catholics on the high court — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas — came to worship at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle; the fifth, Justice Samuel Alito, did not attend. They were joined by Justice Stephen Breyer, who is Jewish.

Would it surprise you that I heard both these stories first on NPR?

The contrast is interesting ... but certainly attending mass is a more Catholic thing than reading from the Torah after the pope. Maybe the pope should have let the rabbi go first.

So long as the rabbi addressing the upcoming Bible synod doesn't get cold feet.
