German 'Bling Bishop' lands new Vatican job

Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, who became known internationally as the 'Bishop of bling,' was forced to resign last March amid a public outcry over the lavish renovation of his headquarters, including €213,000 spent on a fish tank. After several months living in an upscale 180-square-metre apartment in Regensburg, he is believed to have already relocated to Rome to take up a specially created post preparing catechetical materials for bishops' conferences.
