Bishop of Limburg Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst

[Manowar]

His bathtub alone was $20.000, that really pissed me off. How in the world can you justify a $20.000 bathtub?

Because he had it filled with the consecrated tears of abused choir boys?

I can. Actualy, I would really like a bathtub like that.

It`s the other costly things that make me mad. Like the 50 000 desk.
Or that he built a "private chaple" right next to a cathedral.
His expensive sports car.
Or that he allegedly illegaly brought gems and precious stones into the country from a trip to India (first class flight).

His predecesor slept in a shity appartment whilest letting homeless people and asylum seekers sleep and live where he was supposed to stay.

"Tebartz-van Elst has defended the expenditures, saying that the bill was actually for 10 projects and that there were additional costs because of regulations on buildings under historical protection, according to the broadcaster Deutsche Welle"

I thought those guys were supposed to take a vow of poverty. Why in the world would you need a $20.000 bathtub and $50.000 desk, a sports car. Do these guys even think? I mean sooner or later millions of dollars is going to be noticed, or maybe he thought he could talk himself out of it.

Yes. It goes something like this.


"I vow never to be poor."
