I wonder if anybody here is familiar with the details of Lewis'
debate with the philosopher,  Elizabeth Anscombe, a noted disciple
of Wittgenstein and herself a devout Catholic.  According to
most accounts she smashed Lewis to bits, to the pleasure of many of
his academic colleagues who found his intellectual bullying
intolerable.  And according to least some accounts the experience
of beaing smashed so decisively in debate had a chastening effect
on him and he was much easier to get along with afterwards.
