Former Knoxville bishop's 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom mansion sells for $1.4 million
Former Knoxville Bishop Richard Stika was often criticized for being imperious and extravagant. His most visible legacy is the construction he spearheaded of the $30.8 million Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, which was inspired by the Florence cathedral and towers 144 feet above Northshore Drive. Less well known was Stika's Knoxville home, a place notable for how far more luxurious it is than those occupied by many Catholic leaders.
