Dallas diocese: Harriet Miers was never Catholic
Harriet Miers,
Supreme Court nominee
The Associated Press reported Friday that officials with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas, Texas, have reviewed records of baptisms, confirmations and First Communions and have found no evidence that Harriet Miers has ever been a member of the Catholic Church.
"We don't normally check records for things like this," said Bronson Havard, who also is editor of Texas Catholic newspaper and a deacon, "but this was a prominent situation, we wanted the record to be set straight."
