He failed at Catholic in a sense. He was an atheist who was converted by none other than the devoutly Catholic J.R.R. Tolkien who was then supremely annoyed that Lewis said, “you’re right. God exists. The Anglican flavor.”
I think Tolkien also wasn’t impressed with the unsubtle ASLAN = JESUS. Lewis gives the vibe of the convert that just has to do THE MOST. When you read like the Abolition of Man, you can tell he thinks of himself as a modern St Augustine.
So he failed at Anglic too? Man, that’s not his year.
