<> Thanks for th elink. He was the man. That was obviously the case even prior to his conversion. Nevertheless, our 'lil group used to speculate when, not if, he would convert.

I also used to wonder why C.S. Lewis never did. I love his writings also. I think one of the greatest,short, books ever written is "The Abolition of Man." It is only about 100 pages but it is powerful and instructive<>

Dear Catholicguy,

"I also used to wonder why C.S. Lewis never did."

I think that JRR Tolkien was of the opinion that Mr. Lewis was raised in anti-Catholic, Church of Ireland-bigotry, and could never overcome it.

When Mr. Lewis became an Anglican, his friendship with Mr. Tolkien suffered as a result.

CS Lewis' esssay "On the Reading of Old Books" is one of my favorites.
