His conclusion is then that the moral framework behind even this seeming discrepancy between what was okay back then and today has not changed appreciably -- eating babies and raping cattle is bad. The only thing that has changed is our ability to understand that witches may not eat babies or rape cattle. Now if we thought eating babies and raping cattle was okay, the moral framework would have changed.
Why does Lewis not address the morals of killing the witches in the first place, regarless of what they may or may not have done?
You see, the moral framework has changed. It was considered proper to kill people for certain crimes back then while today many people would not think it proper, even if these people had eaten babies and raped cattle.
