We abominate that most degrading and sickening of all idolatries, in which a priest makes a god out of flour and water, and bakes this god in an oven.
我们厌恶所有偶像崇拜中最卑贱和令人作呕的方式，其中一位牧师用面粉和水制造一个神，并将这个神放在烤箱里烘烤。
Then the devout Catholic bows down before it, and then swallows it–thus sending his god into his belly!
然后虔诚的天主教徒在它面前跪下，然后将其吞下——就这样把他的神送进了他的肚子里！
Is not this the most despicable form of superstition that ever debased the intellect of man.
难道这不是有史以来最卑鄙的迷信形式，贬低了人类的智力吗？
The fetish worship of the savage is not more groveling!
野蛮人的偶像崇拜也不比这更卑微！
O that Christians would turn away from such nonsensical idolatry, and execrate everything associated with it!
愿基督徒们能够远离如此荒谬的偶像崇拜，并厌恶与之相关的一切！
Here are several additional Spurgeon gems on Roman Catholicism:
这里还有几句关于天主教的斯珀金名言：
“We denounce Catholicism because . . .
“我们谴责天主教，因为 . . .
her errors are so glaring,
她的错误是如此明显，
her idolatry is so flagrant,
她的偶像崇拜是如此公然，
and her influence is so ruinous to men’s souls.”
而她的影响对人的灵魂是如此毁灭性的。”
“Popery is one of the vilest forms of idolatry that ever came from the polluted heart of man!”
“教皇制（Popery）是人类被污染的心灵所产生的最卑鄙的偶像崇拜形式之一！”
“Popery is as much the masterpiece of Satan, as the gospel is the masterpiece of God.”
“教皇制与福音一样，都是撒旦的杰作。”
“Romanism is a gigantic system of human inventions, opposed to the simplicity of the gospel of Christ.”
“罗马主义是一个庞大的由人类发明的体系，反对基督福音的简单性。”
“I would sooner be a devil than be a priest!
“我宁愿做一个魔鬼，也不愿做一个牧师！
Of all pretensions on earth, there is none so detestable as the pretense of being able to bestow grace upon men,
在世上所有的伪装中，没有哪一种是如此令人厌恶的，
and of standing between their souls and God.”
以及在他们的灵魂与上帝之间充当中介的伪装。”
