We Just Might Miss Benedict XVI's Sense of Fashion

In light of Pope Benedict's impending retirement, I thought some of you might enjoy a new glance at one of the very first posts on the Riddleblog (from June of 2006). 

As the old saying goes, there are times when a picture can speak a thousand words.  This is surely one of them.

One of my Lutheran friends sent this to me with the following caption:

"The man on the left, wearing a fabulous vintage chiffon-lined Dior gold lame gown over a silk Vera Wang empire waisted tulle cocktail dress, accessorized with a 3-foot beaded peaked House of Whoville hat, along with the ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz, is worried that The Da Vinci Code might make the Roman Catholic Church look foolish."

On a more serious note, how should we view a story like this? It is written by John Cornwell.

I do enjoy watching Rome burn, but I don't want to heap lies upon them.
