    The funny thing is we can blame Tolkien for that. It was Tolkien who got Lewis to convert, though he became a protestant while Tolkien was a Catholic, and hilariously Tolkien found Lewis’ use of Christian symbolism too overdone and lacking in subtlety.

        I’m just very tickled at how much it backfired - Lewis turned outright anti-Catholic. If I’d been a religious man I might have tried to read something into that (but I’m not, so).
