While Jim and Scott are, of course, correct. I'm reading the original situation a little differently.
The original post said the ball was spinning and hit the catcher. If, in fact, she was on the foul side of the line and the ball hit her on the part of her body that was outside of the foul line (her foot, for example) it is a foul ball. If the ball is still on or over fair territory when it contacts a player, it's fair.
John's original post first says that the ball hits the catcher, then that the catcher touched the ball. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but these two statements seem to be contradictory.
Also: a batted ball that hits the BR while she is in the batters box will be ruled as a foul ball, regardless of where in the box the batter was.
