Scalia was a devout [[Traditionalist Catholicism|traditionalist Catholic]], and his son Paul entered the priesthood. Uncomfortable with the changes brought about following [[Vatican II]], Scalia drove long distances to parishes he felt were more in accord with his beliefs, including parishes that celebrated the [[Tridentine Latin Mass]] in Chicago and Washington,<ref>{{Harvnb|Biskupic|2009|p=185}}.</ref> and one celebrating the Latin version<ref>{{Cite web |last=Collins |first=Katie |date=October 27, 2010 |title=Parish Profile: Great Falls St. Catherine of Siena |url=http://catholicherald.com/stories/Willing-to-say-it-like-it-is,14166 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160222044159/http://catholicherald.com/stories/Willing-to-say-it-like-it-is,14166 |archive-date=February 22, 2016 |access-date=January 5, 2016 |website=[[Arlington Catholic Herald]]}}</ref> of the [[Mass of Paul VI]] at St. Catherine of Siena in [[Great Falls, Virginia]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Havill |first=Adrian |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xUEEQy9mKB0C&pg=PA120 |title=The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold: The Secret Life of FBI Double Agent Robert Hanssen |date=November 18, 2002 |publisher=Macmillan |isbn=9780312986292 |page=120 |chapter=Mondays are for dead drops |access-date=January 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427062031/https://books.google.com/books?id=xUEEQy9mKB0C&pg=PA120 |archive-date=April 27, 2016 |url-status=live |via=Google Books}}</ref> In a 2013 interview with Jennifer Senior for ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'', Scalia was asked whether his beliefs extended to the Devil, and he stated, "Of course! Yeah, he's a real person. Hey, c'mon, that's standard Catholic doctrine! Every Catholic believes that." When asked whether he had seen recent evidence of the Devil, Scalia replied: "You know, it is curious. In the Gospels, the Devil is doing all sorts of things. He's making pigs run off cliffs, he's possessing people and whatnot&nbsp;... What he's doing now is getting people not to believe in him or in God. He's much more successful that way."<ref name="senior" /> In another 2013 interview to the ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'', Scalia said, "In order for capitalism to work, in order for it to produce a good and stable society, traditional Christian virtues are essential."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Slevin |first=Jeremy |date=September 11, 2013 |title=Elizabeth Warren slams "pro-corporate" Supremes |url=https://www.msnbc.com/now-alex-wagner/elizabeth-warren-slams-pro-corporate |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416220255/http://www.msnbc.com/now-alex-wagner/elizabeth-warren-slams-pro-corporate |archive-date=April 16, 2014 |access-date=November 18, 2013 |work=[[Now with Alex Wagner|NOW with Alex Wagner]] |publisher=MSNBC}}</ref>

In 2006, upon leaving church, Scalia was asked by a reporter whether being a traditionalist Catholic had caused problems for him, and he responded by asking, "You know what I say to those people?" and with a gesture, cupping his hand under his chin and flicking his fingers out. The gesture, which got captured by a photographer, was initially reported by the ''[[Boston Herald]]'' as obscene. Scalia responded to the reports with a letter to the editor, accusing the news staff of watching too many episodes of ''[[The Sopranos]]'' and stating that the gesture was a strong brush-off. Roger Axtell, an expert on body language, described the gesture as possibly meaning "I've had enough, go away" and noted, "It's a fairly strong gesture".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Brand |first=Madeline |date=March 30, 2006 |others=Roger Axtell (guest) |title=Justice Scalia's under-the-chin gesture |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5312065 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021001112/http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5312065 |archive-date=October 21, 2013 |access-date=November 18, 2013 |publisher=NPR}}</ref> The gesture was parodied by comedian [[Stephen Colbert]] during [[Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner|his performance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner]] later that year, with the justice in attendance; cameras showed that unlike most of the butts of Colbert's jokes that evening, Scalia was laughing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Patterson |first=Tray |date=May 2, 2006 |title=Dinner Theater: Why Stephen Colbert didn't bomb in D.C. |url=http://www.slate.com/id/2140921/nav/tap2 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023003705/http://www.slate.com/id/2140921/nav/tap2 |archive-date=October 23, 2010 |newspaper=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]}}</ref><ref name="colbert20160215">{{Cite episode |title=Stephen's Tribute To Antonin Scalia |url=http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/9F55BEB7-1D3C-F255-AE28-E7CE078D0C1E/stephen-s-tribute-to-antonin-scalia/ |access-date=May 8, 2016 |series=The Late Show with Stephen Colbert |network=CBS |date=February 15, 2016 |archive-date=May 10, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160510102350/http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/9F55BEB7-1D3C-F255-AE28-E7CE078D0C1E/stephen-s-tribute-to-antonin-scalia/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
