Catholic ping!
Personally I doubt Foley was molested at all. People seem pretty willing to discount his claim to have an alcohol problem but are a little too accepting of his claim to have been molested by the clergy.

Foley Lawyer Cites Second-Hand Smoke, Trans Fats
by Scott Ott
(2006-10-04) The attorney for disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley today offered more biographical background about his client who allegedly used his elected position to prey on high school boys sexually.
Previously, attorney and longtime friend David Roth had confessed that Mr. Foley is a mentally-ill alcoholic who was molested by clergy in his youth, and yet takes full responsibity for the unspecified harm he has caused to others.
This morning, Mr. Roth said that Mr. Foley had been exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke, and high levels of partially-hydrogenated soybean oil during his childhood.
I heard Dick Morris say on Hannity & Colmes that the reporter who broke this story said that a Democrat leader also knew about the Foley IMs.
I wonder who that top Democrat is?
Isn't it a little too ironic that now that he's been caught, all of a sudden he claims he was molested? Where was his confession years ago when the priest scandal first broke?
Why didn't he come forward then?
I'd like to know that if Foley is taking full responisibility for his actions as he claims, why he felt he had to announce now that he was molested as a child.
Does this mean he's going to bring a lawsuit against his church for making him a pervert?
THAT is really basic and powerful.
Powerful and true.
Scarbourough had said that Foleys alcoholism was news to him because he never saw the guy with a drink. I don't believe Foley was an alcoholic, and I don't believe he was molested by clergy. They're just lies to use as a defense in the case of any future legal action.
Almost the entire Congress of the USA funds planned parenthood every year. This past year they appropriated $250 million to planned barrenhood.
For those who still think it's acceptable to have homosexuals in the priesthood: "By their fruits shall ye know them." Foley is one of their "fruits."
