‘Then again I asked him: “Supposing the Pope looked up and saw a cloud and said ‘It’s going to rain’, would that be bound to happen?” “Oh, yes, Father.” “But supposing it didn’t?” He thought a moment and said, “I suppose it would be sort of raining spiritually, only we were too sinful to see it.”
“接着我又问他：‘假定教皇抬头看到了一朵云彩，说就要下雨了，那么是不是就一定要下雨呢？’‘哦，是的，神父。’‘可是假设没有下雨呢？’他想了一下说：‘我推想大概下的是那种精神的雨吧，只是我们罪孽深重，所以看不见。’ 引自 Chapter 7
