Germany's "Bishop of Bling", formally suspended last week over the multimillion-dollar "renovation" of his official residence, looks poised to suffer yet another indignity:
Germany’s recently suspended “Bishop of Bling” faces the prospect of seeing his lavish multimillion euro residence turned into a refugee centre or a soup kitchen for the homeless, Catholic church officials in his home diocese announced today.
Pope Francis lives frugally himself, and has encouraged others to follow his lead in that regard. He's not kidding. And "lighten up, Francis" doesn't seem to be a part of his vocabulary. That 53 year-old Bishop's gotta be doing some serious praying, these days.
