Pope Benedict Gay: Andrew Sullivan Fuels Papal Rumors

Culture

Andrew Sullivan, the best-known Catholic blogger in America, according to Business Insider, is fueling papal gay rumors by saying in his blog The Dish that Benedict's "handsome male companion" and trusted secretary Monsignor Georg Gänswein will continue to serve (and live with) the now "pope emeritus" while also attending the new leader of the Holy See.

From Sullivan's The Dish:    

Gänswein is remarkably handsome, a cross between George Clooney and Hugh Grant, but, in a way, more beautiful than either [...] This man – clearly in some kind of love with Ratzinger (and vice-versa) will now be working for the new Pope as secretary in the day and spending the nights with the Pope Emeritus. This is not the Vatican. It's Melrose Place.
