"It was the French thinker Charles Maurras -- not himself a Catholic until the very end of his life -- who conceived of the notion that that (since the Revolution) there was not one France but two: le pays réel and le pays legal; The real France, Catholic and true, versus the official France, irreligious and contrived. Just as Maurras differentiated the two visions of France, we in the English-speaking world know that England is truly a Catholic country that is suffering from a four-century interregnum (and so with Scotland, and Ireland, and America, and Canada, and Australia...). We love our homes but we know they are not truly themselves -- they do not truly reflect that idea of their essence -- until they enjoy the fullness of Christian communion."
