O'Reilly fixed this in later versions of the article.

Thank you. Is the new version significantly different? Would you give us a link?

Both father and daughter viewed "social betterment" as more important than actual religious beliefs or personal morality

There is a revolutionary current running through the earliest Christianity. "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away" -- are words spoken by the Blessed First Christian. Can it be combined with weak faith, or perhaps in the case of JFK cowardice, weak will and political ambition? The example of the Holy Apostles teaches that yes, it can be. That Catholicism inspires the left does not bother me, so long as the "social betterment" remains in defense of human life and human dignity. The justification of the murder of the unborn is what makes what's-her-name's remarks repulsive, and deserving of public condemnation. We did not get one from our pastors in this case, and we were owed it.

Just the first sentence:

On Jan. 8, 1962, President John F. Kennedy wrote a letter celebrating the work of James Cardinal Gibbons, who died in 1921. Source

Good point.
