rus, thank you for the kind words.

I need to comment, though, on the sense you give of the OC ready and vigilant to toss members out for vagrant or variant opinions. In fact, this rarely happens, and it takes quite a bit of process to determine someone a heretic. A member who takes the sacraments, commits no flagrant crimes, recites the Creed with sincerity - or at least without intent of deceit - is a member for life, even if he acquires odd views or a taste for modern thinking. If he should teach, things get more serious, but even there, participation is the touchstone, not strictness of belief. Why, even such obvious errors as American exceptionalism, libertarianism, randroid views, etc are not actual grounds for expulsion.

As long as you can say "Christ is God, and I am not", and do not worship the popular idols [such as Invisible Hand, National Security, or Size 2 ]intentionally, you should be ok.

It was mentioned that Lewis admired the medieval Christian/pagan synthesis. I don't, because often (historically) the pagan ideas influenced the Christian ideas rather than the other way around. But I admire how Lewis is able to bring analogies out of man's mythology to explain Christian concepts.
