主题：最近看到的笑话之八 -- 钛豌豆

有时候农民们的这种情绪极为狭隘强烈，所以那个女人能够超乎于村庄是村民的这种思想之上，实在让我惊讶。但是她能够、而且做到了这一点。当她威胁说要把英国人从法国的土地上赶出去时，毫无疑问，她想的是整个说法语的广大地域。在她看来，说法语的人就是《圣经》上所描述的一个国家。你可以把她的这种异端邪说称为国家主义，我找不出比这更恰当的名称了。我只能告诉你，从本质上讲，这种说法是反天主教、反基督的，因为天主教会只承认一个国土，那就是基督的王国。把这个国土分裂成一个一个的国家，就等于废黜了基督。废黜了基督之后，还有谁站在我们的喉咙和刀剑之间呢？世界将会化作一摊水，消失得干干净净。

It is sometimes so narrow and bitter in country folk that it surprises me that this country girl can rise above the idea of her village for its villagers. But she can. She does. When she threatens to drive the English from the soil of France she is undoubtedly thinking of the whole extent of country in which French is spoken. To her the French-speaking people are what the Holy Scriptures describe as a nation. Call this side of her heresy Nationalism if you will: I can find you no better name for it. I can only tell you that it is essentially anti-Catholic and anti-Christian; for the Catholic Church knows only one realm, and that is the realm of Christ's kingdom. Divide that kingdom into nations, and you dethrone Christ. Dethrone Christ, and who will stand between our throats and the sword? The world will perish in a welter of war.
