@adachi @une That doesn't sound like him. If he did say something like that, it wouldn't be unqualified. I would be shocked if it was.

Lewis did have Puritan leanings at certain points during his career, but not consistently, and he was tactful even when he did. He's well read in the early Patristics, is fully aware of the ambiguities and nuances between the different schools of thought, and deliberately avoids sectarian issues in nearly every work.
