[Mrs. Don-o]

POpe Francis choice of the word "coprophagia" would not have been mine. If I were the editor I would have red-penciled it. If I were the actual author, in order to convey the same idea, I might have said "slanderers' mouths are full of sewage."

However it is short-sighted to object to an uncomfortable lexical choice, which was evidently meant to be strong. It is not nearly as strong as what St. Paul said, when he preached against circumcision, and said "I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves!"

THis whole strange copro-theme is a read herring which has dwawn up far afield from the subject of the thread. I'm done with this topic. Good night.

A crude and revolting reference to a disgusting sexual perversion is merely an “uncomfortable lexical choice” worthy of St. Paul? Talk about a twisted rationalization. Good night.

The fact that you refuse to address the fact that Archbishop Bergoglio also used the word coprophilia has convinced me that you deliberately ignore negative facts concerning Francis.
