Bishop Tebartz-van Elst moves into new apartment

Today's Süddeutsche Zeitung carries the following news story on page eight.

"Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, 54, former Bishop of Limburg will continue to live in comfort after the scandal of the high costs for the Limburg bishop's residence: he will move into a 180 square metre apartment in Regensburg, his spokeswoman told 'Welt am Sonntag'.

The house, which is on the edge of the city will be renovated,

Most likely the former bishop will share the apartment, where he will spend some time, with his sister.

His family have rented the apartment."

A classic example of lazy journalism and church tomfoolery.
