“How well I remember reading C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity many years ago. It seemed that here was someone who knew the essentials of the Christian faith and expressed them clearly, forcibly and with an acute insight in to Christian Revelation. I also remember enjoying very much The Screwtape Letters and thinking how clever C. S. Lewis was in anticipating how the devil works in our everyday lives and, of course, the Narnia books were and are hugely enjoyable and bring us literally into another kind of world. C. S. Lewis influenced me in the sense that here was a non-Catholic Christian expressing Christian faith in a way that was quite in accord with Roman Catholic teaching and with which I can concur completely. It opened up for me a sense of an ecumenical path and brought me to realise many years ago how much we as Roman Catholics had in common with the Anglican Communion and made me resolve to further the communion between us in every way open to me.”

To me, CS Lewis comprehends almost perfectly the plan of our Heavenly Father, knowledge of the primitive church Christ set up while he was on the earth, and He understands fundamental gospel principles that were lost after Christ died....  He is a uniter among religions, not a divider.
