I don't know the context of C. S. Lewis's quote, but wouldn't that also apply to something like the following?

"My traditions are five-hundred years old, and your's are only three-hundred years old, so not as valid as mine..."
Some of the posts were leaning that direction.

Just had to get it out of my head before it drove me crazy.

I would have to find the article that deals with the context of Lewis's warning, but both he and Chesterton were warning against those who look back and judge those in history by our standards today.

Oh! I wasn't reading either quite correctly, then.

Thanks, cajunscot.
