¿Crees tú, por casualidad, que Cristo iba a tirarle un lechazo a Hernando de Miguel por el hueco de la escalera, o a preocuparse de si un guardia le pega un porrazo a un gamberro, o a insolentarse con un Gobernador, ya ves Poncio Pilatos, o a decirle a Josechu Prados que contase cuando se trataba de un fin bien bueno, que el mismo papá lo dice, que la Monarquía en este país la única garantía de orden?
Do you think, by any chance, that Christ would have thrown a lamb at Hernando de Miguel down the stairwell, or worried about whether a policeman had beaten up a juvenile delinquent, or been insolent to a governor, just look at Pontius Pilate, or tell Josechu Prados he had to count votes when the aim was something perfectly good, why, the Pope himself says it, that in this country the monarchy is the only guarantee of order?
