[SFCC] SF research question

[Catherine Coker]

I can't think of any other specifically Jesuit characters, but there are several bibliographies on religion and SF referenced through the SFRD that may be helpful. 

FWIW, Neal Stephenson's novel Anathem is all about, at least, communities of priests "in space" on another planet thousands of years from now, and their fracturing from the Saecular world.

Hello Collective Wisdom --

I'm hoping that some of you may be able to help me with this.  As many of you probably know, Mary Doria Russell's novel The Sparrow has a Jesuit as the main character.  The short story "The Star" (by Arthur C. Clarke) features a chief astrophysicist who is a Jesuit priest.

What I'd like is to find any/all other examples of, well, let's call it "Jesuits in Space" for lack of a better term.  Does anyone know of others?

Thanks --

Michele
