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.
It's worth noting that this man was appointed bishop in Limburg to 'clean up' the diocese and restore 'orthodoxy'.
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?
