Disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley of Florida must name his alleged clerical sex abuser, his home Catholic diocese demands.

In the wake of a similar demand by NewsMax.com columnist and top talk show host Michael Reagan - himself the victim of childhood sex abuse - the Roman Catholic Diocese of Palm Beach has called upon Foley to name the clergyman his attorney says abused him.

“It would be inappropriate to comment, because at this time we’ve only heard a vague allegation,” Alexis Walkenstein, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of Palm Beach, told the Washington Post, adding that Foley has not reported the abuse to local Catholic Church officials, either. “If Mr. Foley was abused within the Catholic Church, we would encourage him to report it to law enforcement,” she said.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. It has secular, Catholic, and Culture of Death elements to it, but it seemd mostly about a Catholic action.
 
No kidding. What an injustice to every decent priest that he’s ever come into contact with. The cloud of suspicion hangs over ALL of them because of the words of this sleazebag.

OUT with it. And clear the rest of them (or all, if it is not a priest).
 
The press is a mess when it comes to reporting anything about the Holy Catholic Church. Yes, the bad should be noticed, but when then they start making vague claims such that the story is ambiguous, they incite anti-Catholics to do their bit.
