Summary: C. S. Lewis is celebrated by Protestants as a Christian champion—but what if many of his actual beliefs sounded more Catholic than Evangelical? I survey fifteen such beliefs.
In this powerful episode, Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong unveils 15 jaw-dropping views held by Lewis that would scandalize many modern Protestants—from his belief in purgatory, prayer for the dead, and confession to a priest, to his rejection of theological liberalism and same-sex unions. Quoting Lewis directly and citing his own letters and writings, this video challenges viewers to rethink the narrative and face the surprising truth about one of Christianity’s most beloved voices. If you love Lewis… you need to watch this.
Practical Matters: I run the most comprehensive “one-stop” Catholic apologetics site: rated #1 for Christian sites by leading AI tool, ChatGPT — endorsed by popular Protestant blogger Adrian Warnock. Perhaps some of my 5,000+ free online articles or fifty-six books have helped you (by God’s grace) to decide to become Catholic or to return to the Church, or better understand some doctrines and why we believe them. If you believe my full-time apostolate is worth supporting, please seriously consider a much-needed monthly or one-time financial contribution. “The laborer is worthy of his wages” (1 Tim 5:18, NKJV).
You can support my work a great deal in non-financial ways, if you prefer; by subscribing to, commenting on, liking, and sharing videos from my two YouTube channels, Catholic Bible Highlights and Lux Veritatis (featuring documentaries), where I partner with Kenny Burchard (see my own videos and documentaries), and/or by signing up to receive notice for new articles on this blog. Just type your email address on the sidebar to the right (scroll down quite a bit), where you see, “Sign Me Up!” Thanks a million!
