Did Pope Francis Liken the Spread of Fake News to Taking Pleasure in Poop? |
||
In a recent interview with Tertio, a Belgian Catholic weekly, Pope Francis likened news that is "wanting to communicate scandal ... [and] ugly things" – even in cases where there is truth to a story – to the "sickness of coprophilia," which the Oxford Living Dictionary defines as an "abnormal interest and pleasure in feces and defecation." | It sounds like the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church doesn't think much of free speech, if it concerns something ugly, even if it is true. I would venture that news about something ugly is like the flashing red engine warning light in your car. It's calling your attention to something unpleasant, so you can fix it before it gets worse. | |
