Francis Calls His Synod "Abstruse" and "Self-Referential"
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.
