Germany’s Limburg diocese says the Vatican won’t open church law proceedings or examine possible compensation claims against “the bishop of bling”.
The former bishop was removed by Pope Francis amid a scandal over his 31 million-euro ($35-million) new residence.
The diocese said earlier this year that it had raised the issue with the Vatican, though it didn’t file any formal complaint against Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst.
The decision was conveyed, Wednesday, by head of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Marc Ouellet.
