'Too young' is a relative term. So is 'brother'.

I love the emerging back story (if you'll pardon the pun) of the 69 year old priest, now living on a small island off Italy surfacing to say:

Yes. He and (future congressman Mark Foley) did a lot of things together. Um, naked. Skinny dipped. Gave each other back massages. Other things. Naked. As the priest took young Mark on his travels with him.

Yes, he says he thought it was all innocent.
Even though he was a priest in his late 20s giving a 13 year-old boy naked back massages.


It only 'went too far once I think' but nothing 'dirty' he says. Just fondling. And that only because he was on painkillers and he drank too much. (Sound familiar? It's precisely what Foley said.)

He stands by the story that it was 'all innocent' and he loved Foley like a brother.
Like a very, very young brother who didn't mind being fondled.

There are just some seriously broken people out there.
