Huh? What is coprophilia you ask? I had never heard of it myself. It is interest in feces for the purposes of sexual excitement. And coprophagia? That's people who eat feces. The context - Pope Francis was conducting an interview warning the media against spreading disinformation and using fake news for influential gain. I guess a lot of folks are full of _hit. Strange choice of metaphor indeed.

Quote:Pope Francis is calling on those who use and control the media to avoid disinformation and "the sickness of coprophilia" — comparing a love of scandal to an abnormal interest in feces that can also include elements of sexual arousal.

An obsession with scandal can do great harm, Francis said Wednesday, in remarks that also cited people's tendency toward coprophagia (the eating of feces).

"I believe that the media should be very clear, very transparent, and not fall prey — without offence, please — to the sickness of coprophilia, which is always wanting to communicate scandal, to communicate ugly things, even though they may be true," the pope said in an interview with the Belgian Catholic weekly Tertio.

He added, "And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, it can do great harm."

Those comments were part of Francis' response to a short question about the media and means of communication. The question generated one of the longest replies of the interview, as Francis spoke both of the ills and the "immense good" modern communications and media can bring about.

"Nowadays they have in their hands the possibility and the capacity to form opinion: They can form a good or a bad opinion," the pope said.

"Disinformation is probably the greatest damage that the media can do, as opinion is guided in one direction, neglecting the other part of the truth," Francis said later.

The pope seemed to be speaking at times of both the traditional news media and of other methods of communication that have become prevalent and influential.

Pope Francis Creative Metaphor Champion

I'm so glad that Dr. Billy Graham just stuck to the gospel and salvation in Jesus Christ.

The Pope is also lying to billions of people claiming they can reach God through other religions and even atheism.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

I'd suggest that he just stick to eliminating the child molesters in his faith.

Yep. As a Catholic, I agree. This man is a fraud with a geopolitical agenda, not a spiritual one.
