What Did Andrew Sullivan Expect?

In assessing Andrew Sullivan's reaction to Cardinal Ratzinger's elevation to the Papacy, Professor Bainbridge states it succinctly: Andrew Sullivan is an ass.

Then again, how else would Sullivan react? Short of Benedict XVI had come out on the balcony and declared, "Everything I said before about homosexuality? Fuggedaboutit! Gays can get married!", nothing would have made Sullivan happy.

i am the only person in the u.s.a. who does not,nor will i ever, understand the impact, or significance of, andrew sullivan on the american public at large.

as pp benedict XVI has informed us of "dictatorship of relativism", while he was still a cardinal, anything and everything that andrew sullivan has said, or posted, can only be described as "moral minimalism".
