Bishop of Limburg Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst is accused of spending more than 31m euros (£26m; $42m) on renovating his official residence. The Vatican said it deemed "appropriate... a period of leave from the diocese" for the bishop. The suspension comes two days after he met the Pope to discuss the matter.[/quote]

[QUOTE=kidwithsword;42619885]What are you talking about?[/QUOTE] He must be spending all that money on face-lifts too :(
Why did he have £26m that he was able to spend on personal things.

[QUOTE=CoolKingKaso;42620797]Donations. It's odd, but the church I've attended raised above one million in a span of two weeks.[/QUOTE] Bloody hell, that's a lot. Was that just because they asked for donations, or they did some sort of charity bazaar thing and raised the money through that?
[QUOTE=snookypookums;42620847]Bloody hell, that's a lot. Was that just because they asked for donations, or they did some sort of charity bazaar thing and raised the money through that?[/QUOTE] In the masses I've attended, there are two sessions that enable people to donate (collections). Those sessions each target towards a specific different objective. The one that I've memtioned was for the construction of another center.
That's a really cool title. Imagine people asking what's your position. 'I'm the Bishop of Bling!'
Still, those money went out of the church and into other people's pockets. Hell of a right thing in my book. Amen bishop of bling bling
Well he got to meet the pope.
He should just become a rapper with a name like that
This calls for another reformation.

Other things that the eyes are the size of: small soccer ball, marble-sized marbles, large eyes, small round ceiling lamps and small European (excluding Great Britain) and/or east Asian electrical sockets.

I didn't know Billy Bob Thornton was a bishop to begin with.
If Hell exists, this guy is definitely going to it.
