Out of sight, out of mind I guess.... Yeah, I agree... but it looks like he's not the only one who hasn't admitted to things: A Web site for the Diocese of Gozo lists Mercieca as one of its priests. Joseph Calleja, a priest with the diocese, said Mercieca is still an active priest.... Mercieca was adamant that his encounter with Foley was an aberration, and that the Catholic Church never had to send him for counseling during his 38 years in the priesthood in Florida, according to the newspaper. "I have been in many parishes, and I have never been" accused, he said. Mercieca said he taught Foley "some wrong things" related to sex, though he wouldn't specify what he meant, the newspaper said. It reported the priest said that at the time, he considered the relationship innocent, but he now says he could see how his actions could be called inappropriate. Mercieca said although Foley plans to "expose him to the world," he still has "great memories of our trips," the newspaper reported. "I wish him well," Mercieca said. "Let bygones be bygones."
