I'm trying very hard not to rush to judgement. The last thing I like to do is accuse someone of lying about faith. But according to the
Associated Press says that Harriet Miers was never a Catholic.
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. For some 25 years, Miers has been a congregant at Valley View Christian Church where in 1979 she was baptized by full immersion, consistent with the evangelical church's beliefs.

After news media reported that Miers, a longtime Dallas lawyer, had attended Catholic church during her childhood, diocesan officials searched their records because they suspected the information was incorrect.
"We don't normally check records for things like this," said 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."
The Catholic church does not keep records of people who may occasionally attend their services.
My my my. I know lying from anyone out of this administration should be no surprise, but lying about your faith? That's the lowest of the low.
