Men Who Lie About Nuns!
</hdr><body>
<p>By Alexander B. Tresniowski/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> His stock-in-trade is sifting through sinful confessions,
but PHIL DONAHUE was on the wrong side of a scandal last week.
In a syndicated essay about his Catholic upbringing, the
good-guy talk-show host made up phony names for the nuns he
fondly recalled and included a copy of a faked missal
inscription. Not exactly a mortal sin, but after a Catholic News
Service reporter blew the whistle, enough to force Phil into the
confessional. "I changed the names of the nuns to protect the
innocent," he said. Donahue's heart was in the right place,
though: proceeds from the essay will benefit elderly nuns.
