C. S. Lewis put it like this: “The Roman Church where it differs from this universal tradition and specifically from apostolic Christianity I reject. . . . The whole set-up of modern Romanism seems to me to be as much a provincial or local variation from the ancient tradition as any particular Protestant sect is.”46 Thus, when Protestants are told by other Christians that their church looks different from the early church, Lewis’s reply probably provides the best brief retort: So does yours.
