Scorsese meets presided of pedophilia club

[Rev. Rye]

Okay, first of all, Marty is Italian, and it's very likely he'd have a hard time burning bridges with Mother Church.

Martin Scorses is American, born in Queens.

Of course he was born in America (it's probably a testament to my spending four times in a Catholic high school that I must have assumed that the "American" would have been understood), but his Italian heritage remains a major part of his identity (hell, he made a 3-hour documentary about his first trip to Italy.) Unlike with Ireland in recent years, the Church still holds a depressing amount of sway over Italians and Italian-Americans.

I have edited my original post to clarify this.
