LINK The Sarasota Herald-Tribune published an interview with Mercieca on Thursday in which the priest described several encounters that he said Foley might perceive as sexually inappropriate.
Among the activities described by Mercieca in the newspaper were massaging the boy in the nude, skinny-dipping together at a secluded lake in Lake Worth, Florida, and being nude in the same room on overnight trips while he was a priest and Foley was a parishioner.
Mercieca later told The Associated Press in Rome that the report was "exaggerated."
"We were friends and trusted each other as brothers and loved each other as brothers," Mercieca said in the AP interview. Asked if their association was sexual, the priest replied: "It wasn't."
Mercieca told the AP that he and Foley would go into saunas naked when he was a priest in Florida and Foley was a parishioner, but he said that "everybody does that."
now when Bush says the republicans are the party of moral values. Is he taking into account that "everyone" goes into saunas with nude young boys?
