Such a cheerful Sri Lankan Catholicism
圣安东尼教堂的点评
点评：St. Anthony's Church is the most important Catholic church in Sri Lanka. Catholicism in Ceylon was spread by the Portuguese, but after the Dutch captured the island, Catholics on the island began to be oppressed. Remembering the horrors that the Spanish Catholics, led by the Duke of Alba, committed in the Netherlands in the 16th century, this can be understood, if not justified. The history of the church goes back to the chapel of Father Antonio, which he opened semi-underground. After the capture of Ceylon by the British, the pressure weakened and in 1834 this church was opened in the neoclassical style. The current appearance is the result of the 1938 reconstruction. However, for Catholics, the status of the church is determined by the value of the relics within the church. In this case, it's a tiny piece of St. Anthony of Padua's tongue, kept in a special reliquary. Anthony of Padua himself, without this part, is where he belongs by name - in the basilica of his name in Padua, where I witnessed him twice. Considering that most of these relics and relics are in the cathedrals of Europe, this is a significant factor in attracting Catholics here. The interior of the church bears little resemblance to the cold solemnity of French or Spanish Catholic cathedrals. The main altar is a bright, multicolored panel. Such a cheerful Catholicism, which does not remind at all of the difficult history of the church, and even more so of the tragedy of 2019.
翻译：圣安东尼教堂是斯里兰卡最重要的天主教堂。天主教在锡兰（今斯里兰卡）的传播始于葡萄牙人，但荷兰人占领该岛后，岛上的天主教徒开始遭受压迫。考虑到16世纪西班牙天主教徒在阿尔瓦公爵的领导下在荷兰犯下的暴行，这种压迫即便不能完全合理，也情有可原。教堂的历史可以追溯到安东尼奥神父在半地下建造的小教堂。英国占领锡兰后，压迫有所缓解，这座教堂于1834年以新古典主义风格建成。如今的样貌是1938年重建的结果。然而，对天主教徒而言，教堂的地位取决于其所藏圣物的价值。就此而言，教堂珍藏着一小块圣安东尼·帕多瓦的舌头，被保存在一个特殊的圣物匣中。圣安东尼·帕多瓦本人，撇开这部分不谈，他名正言顺地安葬在帕多瓦以他名字命名的圣殿里，我曾两次在那里亲眼目睹他的圣容。考虑到这些圣物大多保存在欧洲的大教堂中，这无疑是吸引天主教徒前来此地的重要原因。教堂内部与法国或西班牙天主教大教堂冷峻庄严的氛围截然不同。主祭坛是一幅色彩鲜艳的画板。如此欢快的天主教氛围，丝毫没有让人想起教会的艰难历史，更不会让人想起2019年的悲剧。
