'Bishop Of Bling' Mansion May Become Refuge For Poor

That mansion in Limburg, Germany, where about $40 million was spent on renovations for the since-suspended cleric now known as the "bishop of bling" may soon be "turned into a refugee centre or a soup kitchen for the homeless," according to reports from The Independent and other European news outlets.

Last week, Pope Francis had to remove Tebartz-van Elst from his post at least temporarily.

"Tebartz-van Elst earned his unflattering nickname after reports surfaced that close to $40 million has been spent on work at his home and offices — about eight times what had been expected. He also, allegedly made false statements in court about that work."

According to reports, among the "big-ticket" expenditures at the mansion were "$475,000 [spent] on walk-in closets and $20,000 [for] a bathtub."

I hope the 'bling pastors' in Nigeria will read this post and maybe try to re-adjust their lifestyles.
