... and the fourth is coprophilia, that is, the love of scandal, of filth; scandal sells.

Francis has been chosen as the 2023 recipient of E’ Giornalismo, a prize that has decorated Italian regime journalists since 1995.
There was a time when popes did not accept secular awards. In his August 26 acceptance speech, Francis said that he was accepting the prize to highlight the urgency of "constructive communication” against "coprophilia." The little-known term means "love for excrement" and was coined in 1914 by the Jewish-German psychiatrist Albert Eulenburg who used it to describe a sexual attraction to faeces and defecation. Bergoglio must know this word from the psychological therapy he underwent for six months in 1978 after a period of depression. He has a special love for the term.
Francis also admitted that his forthcoming ex-synod seems “abstruse, self-referential, overly technical, of little interest to the general public.”
But he considers the meeting “really important" for the Church. "Really important" for the Church would be a conversion and return to the Catholic faith.

Very strange person, who seems poorly suited to a highly influential leadership position.
He used that term AGAIN? He’s the only one I ever heard mention it and this is like the 3rd or 4th time it’s been written.
I looked this up and found other articles which clarified some points, one of which is that he did not call the synod those things but said that the synod might seem that way to people. The term copraphilia was applied to an attraction for or love of scandal, not to the actual fetish itself.
Gloria TV just went down a number of notches in my estimation for this...
Does he mean obtuse?
... and the fourth is coprophilia, that is, the love of scandal, of filth; scandal sells.
I am well aware that speaking of a “Synod on Synodality” may seem something abstruse, self-referential, excessively technical, of little interest to the general public.
What stupidity we have in leadership.
Hmmm…I think there’s something weird going on with him…
He’s very crude and sexually obsessed.
