Pope Compares Fake News to Eating Feces

“Pope Francis criticized the spread of fake news in graphic terms, comparing it coprophagia, according to a translation of the transcript published by the Vatican,” McClatchy reports.

“Coprophagia is the act of eating one’s own feces.”

“Francis also compared ‘disinformation’ from the media to coprophilia, or an interest in feces, often for sexual arousal.”
