Lots of evangelicals love C.S. Lewis, so I wonder why more of them haven’t raised objections about his views on the subject of purgatory.

A lot of times folks just read about C.S. Lewis and don't actually read what he wrote.

He also believed in the Real Presence.

Unusual for a man raised in Protestant Belfast . . . !

But you have to remember what his day job was -- professor of medieval and Renaissance literature. As his fellow countryman (and candidate for sainthood) John Cardinal Newman said, "to be deep in history is to become Catholic."
