If you have a real appetite for Vatican gossip, politics and theology, you could do a lot worse than visit this peppy blog by one Rocco Palmo. He's got the papal dope. One random money quote:
We'll have to get pictures of this posted as soon as they're available, but the Cardinal-Secretary of State is celebrating the Quincentenary Mass of the Pontifical Swiss Guard... in fiddleback. And lace alb.
This will excite many of you, I am well-aware.
You know who you are. Great pics too.
