Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst has paid his €20,000, which means there will be no further proceedings against him for his lying with reference to his first class Lufthansa ticket to India.

Tebartz-van Elst and all the chicanery surrounding the bishop is the perfect metaphor for so much of what is laughable and so wrong in the Catholic Church at present.
Can Pope Francis change things?
