Court shelves case against German bling bishop........

http://news.msn.com/world/court-shelves-case-against-german-bling-bishop

dimbear: Bling Bishop Dinged...... The chap known to the world as the Bishop of Bling has paid a 20,000 Euro fine. The penalty was reaffirmed in German appeals court and the bishop coughed up. You may note that one of the Ten Suggestions concerns bearing false witness. The payment made the case go away. You may wonder whether had this happened to you you would have escaped so easily.

The same bishop had already been investigated and cleared months before brave, bold Pope Francis I had him suspended. Yet another PR move, it would seem.
