When the Father told Bill that the Schindler's lawyer (David Gibbs) said that Terri Schiavo would suffer eternal damnation...
Bill: That's the fringe stuff , these people..
Father: FRINGE, he's the lawyer, this person is the lawyer for the Schindler's parents...
Bill: I have to see what the context was...

What is a secular lawyer arguing before a secular court that this could mean more time in purgatory for this woman?
"O'Reilly's only intension was to try and drag the left into the mud with the radical religious element, without ever mentioning a hateful thing the left has said on this issue. I never thought I would see a Father call O'Reilly on his own spin."
