The Huffington Post kindly organized a German version for German writers: I commented there the case, that a German bishop took 42,090,113 $$ (31 million Euro) to optimize his residence (translated by frizztext)

With exaggerated benevolence often cliques also allow in other areas of society (financial sector?) embarrassing excesses to their leaders. Task of a democratic society should be to criticize confidently and with courage in operational supervisory bodies.

“Based on these pathological lying is often a narcissistic personality disorder …” (Thiel): It is visible, that at last once (quite true) psychiatric specialist vocabulary is used. Additionally, it is to be noted that lying in the innermost core is always theological work routine. No wonder that rubs off heavily on the personality structures of their players.

Lying is the core of the theological craft, no wonder that this attitude will rub off on their representatives. But that tissue of lies can tear in contact with modern Journalism, Justice and auditing. It is an experience that will be repeated often in the future – until autocratic world lies be not pushed through with arrogant and intimidating behavior, threatening and downright naughty. But this process of change covers not only the church, but similar structural changes can be observed in the financial sector and in political parties.

“Every liar is only as good as its counterpart, which allows the lie …” (Thiel) – properly, and it is unfortunate that so many people accept certain forms of lying. And not just as a listener in worship, as clique in higher bank-floors, as followers and vassals in political parties.

I just read the article on the international blog. Bishop Bling Bling sounds funny but it’s a shame to take the money from the church that could help the poor to benefit yourself. Somewhere in the past decades the Catholic church lost track of their priests behaviors. We have many adds on television lately from the Catholic church asking for their followers to return to the new church. Perhaps, this new pope can change the negative views the former catholics have about the church and its practices.
A thought provoking post.

hi Issy, we hope that bishop Bling Bling (who flew first class to India searching for diamonds) will hear some corrections by pope Francis who prefers a modest life style …
