Pope Francis Smacks Down Bishop of Bling

Pope Francis is cracking down on high spending German Bishop Franz Peter Tebartz-van Elst.

The pope's decision to expel the "Bishop of Bling" – as he has been dubbed in the international media – takes effect immediately.

A final decision on the future of the big spending priest will be determined only after the German Bishop Conference has finished a detailed report on the cost of the construction remodelling of the bishop's official residence. The pope was reportedly told last week that the final costs may reach $55 million, $13 million over the already substantial price tag.

Wow I wonder how many hot meals $55 million can buy the poor people of Diocese of Limburg?
