Reading AndrewSullivan.com so you don't have to

Well, it looks like Sully's been sick this last week, so he hasn't had time for much substantial blogging. But on Wednesday, he mentioned that once he got better, he'd be examining "what seems at first blush one of the darkest hours in the church's recent history."

Sounds important. I looked around a little bit to try and find out what he was referring to, and I found an item about how the Pope is wearing "fabulous" red Prada shoes (which, apparently, make him look "like Judy Garland in the Wizard of OZ") and Gucci sunglasses. Now, in this post, he links to an article (twice in the same post, so it's got to be a big deal!) where we find out:
The pope has also reportedly turned to another tailor for his vestments, dropping Annibale Gammarelli, whose firm has been serving the Vatican since 1792.
A dark time for the church indeed, not to mention Gammarelli's employees. One might also argue that Sully's post (which ends with the phrase - and I'm not kidding - "absolutely fabulous") ain't exactly the finest hour for gays who want to escape campy stereotypes, but now I'm just nitpicking
