Oct 23, 2013: The Vatican announced that Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, the bishop of Limburg, “could no longer exercise his episcopal ministry” while an inquiry into his allegedly free spending gets under way.
The “Bishop of Bling” reportedly spent $42.76 million on his new diocesan headquarters, ten times the original estimate. Extravagances reportedly included $19,440 on a bathtub, $477,840 on built-in cupboards and carpentry, $1,077,170 on the garden and $615,520 on art works.
