Did Joe Pesci show how deeply religious he was by LYING?

Put HIM in a Magdalene Asylum and see how he likes it.

Okay, so one time, Sinead O'Connor, who was abused as a teenager in a "Magdalene Asylum", tore up a picture of the pope on Saturday Night Live. David Spade reported in his memoir that he picked up a piece of the picture as a keepsake. But, he said, he was later called into an office by network security who wanted it back. Someone on the crew had apparently picked up the remaining pieces and sold them to Inside Edition which pasted the picture back together minus Spade's piece and showed it on TV.

So how was it that Joe Pesci appeared on the show the next week and claimed in his monologue that he had demanded that the picture be pasted back together? He held it up to the audience and showed it to them, it missing a corner piece. It was Inside Edition that pasted it together and it had nothing to do with him.

Pesci later appeared on David Letterman's show and repeated the story, again bearing false witness. All to make himself look extra religious.
