Legendary comedian George Carlin now has a Manhattan street named in his honor, but not without some complaints by an old nemesis -- the Catholic Church.

Mayor de Blasio signed legislation Wednesday renaming W. 121st St. between Morningside Drive and Amsterdam Ave. as “George Carlin Way” for the “Seven Dirty Words” comic.

That’s one block over from the Morningside Heights block where Carlin grew up - because the Catholic Church did not want his name displayed on the stretch where Corpus Christi Church is located.

Although he was born Catholic, Carlin was no altar boy. He often satirized organized religion and the Catholic Church in his routines.
