Jean Broberg was brought up as a Jerusalem Catholic in the mid-twenty-first century. That form of Christianity should be starting about now. In the Terran Empire, Philippe Rochefort and Fr. Axor are Jerusalem Catholics and the latter, a Wodenite convert, seeks evidence for a non-human Incarnation.

"Jerusalem Catholic in the mid-twentieth century."
typo: mid-twenty first
Yeah, it's dangerous to date specifics too early in a 'future history'.
BTW I see you almost typed my last name for Peter Berg. 'Berg' is the far more common version. SFAIK Baerg is only used among Mennonites & descendants of Mennonites. Peter Berg's version of Christianity was *probably* some Protestant sect.
Mis-types corrected.
Surnames are odd.
My father's mother's family (he researched it) have been farmers in northern Wiltshire since Domesday book.
When ordinary people got surnames, they were called the "Uphill" family because their farm was up-hill from the parish church.
As he said, they might as well have been called "Baggins".
And the Stirlings were called Stirling because they came from... the town around Stirling Castle in Scotland.
But -Roman- surnames (cognomen) are even weirder. When you translate them, they often mean things like "Fatso" or "Lard-ass" or "Wart-face".
Stirling:
Do you think there is any connection between your family and the Stirling who invented the Stirling engine?
