    wow... cant believe i wasted my time with o'reillys response to that... as usual, nothing relevant to say... if you have 4 min to waste check that out

    hes a comedian for christs sake! itd be like the "liberal media" getting upset over something colbert said on his show... its supposed to be extreme! the reason NBC didnt cover the damn thing is cause theres more important things to talk about than one mans opinion of the pope! and as far as there being an abundance of attacks on christianity as of late... your the majority... you should be able to take it... jeez

    He spent some time in the Catholic church as a child. Dad is Irish-Catholic and mom is Jewish. I think he tries to push buttons with some of the stuff he says about the church, but I understand where he's coming from.

    Oops.
    No, I didn't mean Bill...I mean the people coming on here calling him a "douche bag" "a fucker" etc. I wonder if THEY are catholic because sometimes the truth can be horribly, horribly painful to hear sometimes.

    Exactly!

    I like how Bill O'Reilly came out saying "Bill got a free pass because he came out and criticized catholics and if it was Jews or Muslims he would have been ostracized by the media and would have been kicked off of the show..."

    Well, that's not true because he has brought up similar points about Jews and Muslims in the past. Just because it hit home for some people (practicing catholics) they can make that completely erroneous claim.
    Oh well!

    Keep it up Bill! Can't wait for the next show!

    dont think thats the case... dave chappelle is proof that there is a right way to be very un-PC about alot of things... the problem is that most people dont know how to do it...

    not to mention people are usually pretty sensitive or slow to admit when theyve put alot of money or time into something... the catholic church is kindof a money pit at this point... they keep up current trends and it wont survive... my generation is definitely making more of an informed decision IMO than our parents... but the world has changed so much since then and the catholic church keeps resisting
