The above quote is from well-known film director Martin Scorsese, given during a 2016 interview with Jesuit Fr. Antonio Spadaro, editor of the journal La Civiltà Cattolica. I think we can take Scorsese at his word that Catholicism is important to him. He was raised in a devoutly Catholic home, influenced in his youth by Catholic priests, and even entered a seminary, only to leave after one year.
