Actually, I figure they would consider your last question redundant. Detians are practically immortal, and the WDF Detians have parleyed that immortality into positions of great power. Given that "Demigod" is really "honking powerful being", WDF Detians are demigods, in a way.

Then again, for them to fully understand that Corwin is a demigod (or a demigod-in-training, for the time being), they would have to understand that Asgard and Olympus exist outside of dusty tomes. Learning the existence of these realms and their gods would shake almost any faith down to its core.

And the reaction of the CoM would depend on what sort of a church it was. Is the CoM, in fact, a church that worships a higher being or beings? Or is it just a racist hate club? If it is merely a hate club like neo-nazis or the KKK, then any such gods or demigods are instantly the Enemy. If the former, the answer could be anything, and the way it reaches that answer could be interesting...

Let's just say that my avatar looks up the local CoM wherever he goes, just to keep the proper distance...
