News Director Raymond Arroyo said the network's "extraordinary" programming switch was driven by the public outpouring of concern over both Schiavo's plight and the frail health of Pope John Paul II.

"You have a collusion of events that I think only the spiritually blind would ignore," Arroyo said. "It's not hard to see the similarities between the pope and what Terri Schiavo is going through, to some extent, and the sufferings of Christ that we commemorate Good Friday."
