Why is C. S. Lewis so often recommended by Catholic websites?
Upvote:3
Lewis was so close to being Catholic, and he was heavily influenced by the devoutly Catholic Tolkien. He's also just about the most Catholic protestant who ever lived. He embraced the validity of tons of Catholic teachings that protestants generally reject outright.
As for why he gets more recommendations, perhaps he was more prolific in the kinds of writings that the compiler is looking for. Augustine wrote a ton, but I don't think City of God counts as a spiritual classic. It's a work of theology.
