Oh. Right. I'll plead "foreigner" on the perfidy thing (pliss, my Inglish, eet ees not too great), though it's a little unconvincing given how long I've spent in this country.
But even in the U.S., Catholic schools regularly admit non-Catholic students, even though they usually give preference to Catholics in general, and parish members in particular. (Which is completely understandable, seeing as the diocese often subsidizes Catholic education.) What's up with that?
As for C.S. Lewis—fine, I'm not getting you into a debate about C.S. Lewis. Two points, though: (1) I've read Moorcock's essay, which should be apparent from the fact that I linked it in the comments to frsimon's post and (2) your experiences with regard to vague disturbances are evidently not too applicable here, since both frsimon and I are Christians.
And sure, there's nothing wrong with enjoying an author's writing without enjoying their politics. I love The Brothers Karamazov, but if you had any illusions about my being a monarchist reactionary, let me take this opportunity to state that (believe it or not) I'm not.
