http://m.independent.ie/world-news/europe/pope-francis-fake-news-is-like-getting-sexually-aroused-by-faeces-35276837.html

Writing fake news and stories about scandals is like being sexually aroused by excrement, Pope Francis has said.

And since people tend towards coprophagia, or eating faeces, then the media should avoid spreading it, he said in an attack on the spread of disinformation.

Francis apologised for his use of precise psychological terms that describe when people are aroused by excrement.

What a shitty thing to say.

Huh.

So, is it "faeces" or "feces"? I've always spelled it using the latter. Or are both acceptable?

It's British English vs American English. Kinda like Paedo- and Pedo-.

Americans tend to eliminate the ae, so encyclopedia vs encyclopaedia

Faeces is the British spelling. Much like paedophile instead of pedophile.

It's one of Ireland's most reliable newspapers for political news, in my experience.

Google gave a bunch of other sources.

Independent.ie is a pretty reputable newspaper in Ireland.

This is real, surprisingly.

For FUCK'S sake, I literally can no longer tell what is real and what isn't.

"Hey Risible, today New Gingrich praised Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pope linked fake news lovers to people who enjoy the occasional Cleveland Steamer."

"Uhhhhh....OK?"

Yep, world is too crazy for me these days.

Also your name means "laughable" in Spanish, that made me chuckle

Dan · Dec 8, 2016

CNN's reporting says Pope Francis was actually saying the media shouldn't focus on bad or unsavory news, like scandals, even if they might be true. He did go on to say disinformation is bad, too.
