The Vatican has suspended a senior German Church leader dubbed the "bishop of bling" by the media over his alleged lavish spending.
Calls were made for the Bishop of Limburg, Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, to resign after he was accused of lying under oath about his spending.
The Vatican said it deemed "appropriate... a period of leave from the diocese" for the bishop.
Pope Francis has preached frugality since taking office in March.
The Bishop of Limburg is reported to have spent 31m euros (£26m; $42m) on his residence in the city - a project costed at about 5.5m euros in 2010. He was also criticised for a first-class flight to India to visit the poor.
The allegations have stoked controversy among Catholics in Germany, where five centuries ago Martin Luther launched the Reformation in Europe in response to what he said were excesses and abuses within the Church.
