but never corrected that she WASN'T.
"In a puzzling footnote, a White House spokeswoman said Friday that despite statements by her friend, Texas Supreme Court Judge Nathan Hecht, Miers was not a Catholic before becoming an evangelical Christian.
Miers herself has never said she was. But the incident left unanswered the question of why the administration had not clarified the issue until contacted by the Catholic News Service, which first reported the story."

DALLAS - The Roman Catholic diocese of Dallas is setting the record straight: Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers has never been a Catholic.
A review of records for such sacraments as baptism, first Eucharist and confirmation found no evidence that Miers or anyone in her immediate family was Catholic, Bronson Havard, a spokesman for the diocese, said Friday.
Acquaintances of Miers have said she worshipped as a Catholic and attended Episcopalian and Presbyterian services.
