Apparently Republican Congress Critter Foley was just carrying on a fine
Catholic tradition of trolling for sex with underage boys.

Priest admits fondling Foley, says it wasn't abuse

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A priest whom former Rep. Mark Foley reportedly has
accused of molestation almost four decades ago said Thursday that he fondled
the lawmaker as a teen but it wasn't abuse because Foley "seemed to like it."

"Once maybe I touched him or so, but didn't, it wasn't -- because it's not
something you call, I mean, rape or penetration or anything like that you
know. We were just fondling," Father Anthony Mercieca, 69, said in a phone
interview with CNN affiliate WPTV from his home on the Maltese island of Gozo
in the Mediterranean.

Mercieca earlier told The Associated Press that a Florida newspaper
"exaggerated" the inappropriateness of his and Foley's relationship.

"He seemed to like it, you know? So it was sort of more like a spontaneous
thing," Mercieca told WPTV, a West Palm Beach, Florida, station.

Am I better off this way I can hear the voice inside my head
Saying you should be with me instead Every time I'm feeling
down, I wonder What would it be like with you around
