I am not sure about the “WASP ticket-punch” It seems the WASP is our doing!

As far as I can recall there was no such mention in the movie?

Not in the movie. But Puzo wrote in the novel:
"Kay Adams Corleone had delighted her in-laws by taking instruction in the Catholic religion and joining their faith...Michael himself had not been too pleased by this development. He would have preferred the children to be Protestant, it was more American."

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
