- 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.
