Livre d'Or

Huh, I wonder if being Catholic kind of inoculated you against noticing the allegory.

I've wondered that myself - maybe I'm going to be less susceptible to confusion over eg the Lion -> Lamb transformation at the end of Dawn Treader because lamb imagery is all over? I don't know.

My impression is that the American Christianist cults who run groups like OICCU thought that lots of quoting Lewis would be a good strategy because people would remember the Narnia books fondly from childhood, but that had the opposite effect on me because I kind of associate Narnia with being bullied by a wrong-headed Christian.

As ever, broad-brush techniques based on assuming that everyone has the same background and "real" beliefs fails! Shocking revelation!

I'm sorry that happened to you, anyway.
