esprit de clocher

Le centralisme démocratique international permet également à des camarades d’une autre section, qui ne subissent pas les mêmes pressions sociales, de contrer l’esprit de clocher des sections nationales et de corriger leurs adaptations politiques.
International democratic-centralism also allows comrades outside a section, who are not under the same social pressures, to counter the parochialism of national sections and correct political adaptations.
Le saint naît en 1786, à Rome (et, sans céder à l’esprit de clocher, il est plaisant de le souligner) dans une période particulièrement mouvementée. Le Saint-Siège était en effet aux prises avec les conséquences tumultueuses de la sanglante Révolution française.
The saint was born in 1786 in Rome (and without engaging in parochialism it does no harm to mention it) in a particularly turbulent historical moment, with the Holy See at issue with the tumultuous consequences of the bloodthirsty French Revolution.
