You've named many of my favorites, so I'll just add the moment in the black & white documentary-style double episode where Father Mulcahy describes how, in cold weather, surgeons would warm their hands over steam from the opened bodies. He rightly looked shocked, as that was a true story.

How about when he beat the guy from the 8063 (was it Jackrabbit Masters? maybe) in the race to win money for the orphanage and then makes everyone else donate their winnings at the last second. "Then they're not winnings they're losings."
He and Charles had some good heart to hearts too even though both were from different religious sects. -

You mentioned my favorite by a nautical mile, #4 the sermon from blood brothers.
I still cry like a baby when he admits his own pridefulness in wanting to impress the bishop then comparing his behavior with the soldier who was facing (at the time almost) certain death from leukemia yet wanted to stay behind to be with his wounded buddy. "He wanted I I wanted" just tears my heart wide open. -

I always loved the quiet strength William Christopher brought to Father Mulcahy.
His performance in "A Holy Mess" was one of his best, but he absolutely blows me away every time I watch his heart-rending sermon at the end of "Blood Brothers." Some of the finest acting ever on the show.
And his final attempt at writing a Korean war song always moves me as well. -

I loved when Hawkeye mentioned that Father Mulcahy looked like a B girl he used to know, and Mulcahy quips "It's quite possible. I worked my way through divinity school as a B girl in San Francisco." Just how he nonchalantly says it, and Hawkeye trying so hard not to laugh out loud. I also like when the nurse that had a crush on him is also one that Hawkeye has a crush on. Hawkeye says "I have stuffing that's aching to be hugged." And Father Mulcahy quips "Well you know what they saySome guys got it, and some guys don't."
