A lot of my closest evangelical friends (well, former closest friends - they dropped me like a hot potato when I converted) read nothing more of Lewis than Mere Christianity and the Chronicles of Narnia. But there’s so much more to read than those two, so it’s likely that they haven’t encountered his sacramental views.
“to be deep in history is to become Catholic” -> Amen, sister! I’ve also seen it quoted as this: “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.” But the effect is the same nonetheless.
“’To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.’ But the effect is the same nonetheless.”
It’s vastly different. I’m not Catholic and I’m not protestant. Maybe Lewis meant all non-protestants were Catholics but if he did, he was flat wrong, and was reading the wrong history books.
