For some reason Catholicism has a strong link to intellectuals... examples: William F. Buckley, JRR Tolkein, CS Lewis"""

CS Lewis wasn't Roman Catholic. Never became Roman Catholic. Made it clear in his letters that he thought that Roman Catholics believe in doctrines that go beyond Christian doctrice - for instance, he said in one letter that Roman Catholicism, or at least its practice in some place, raises Mary the Mother of Jesus to "co-redemtrix."

I never heard that in Sunday School or in Jesuit high school.

However, if he literally meant "at least in their practice in some places", I guess anything is possible.

At least in their practice, a certain small Protestant group seemed to be raising Tammy Faye Baker to "co-redemtrix" whenever I channel-surfed past their cable TV station several years ago.
