VATICAN CITY (RNS) The German churchman christened the “Bishop of Bling” for lavish expenditures he made on his residence and church offices has been given a low-level post at the Vatican, nearly a year after Pope Francis ousted him from the Limburg diocese.
Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst will begin working next month as a “delegate” at the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, an office in the Roman Curia.
