‘Luxury bishop’ must take responsibility for crisis: German church head

VATICAN CITY, Oct 15:  A Roman Catholic bishop under fire for spending some 42 million dollar on an ultra-luxurious residence should examine his conscience over the crisis he has caused, the head of Germany’s bishops said yesterday. Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst of Limburg in western Germany has stirred anger and calls for his resignation among German Catholics and media over huge cost overruns on his residence at a time when Pope Francis is stressing humility and serving the poor.
