Does that mean Martin doesn’t ever speak Latin, as in TLM?

I’d be very surprised if he’s ever said the TLM. It’d be very unusual for a Jesuit of his age (61), ordained in 1999, to have been trained in the TLM or have had any interest in learning it later. I checked his bio, and he went to public high school, so it’s highly possible that he’s never even taken basic Latin, hence his extremely stilted pronunciation in that movie. Having gone to a Catholic high school in the ‘50s, Scorsese himself is probably far more of a Latinist and TLM expert than Martin.
