Influences

Remonitionists

Already quite inclusive and liberal; the narrative has already changed in Irta from "non-Christians need salvation" to "non-Christians have equally valid paths to salvation"; Catholics like to joke that Remonitionists convert themselves rather than converting others

Remonitionists believe there have been several Christs throughout history (inspired by bodhisattvas); some are legendary and are worshipped like pagan gods especially in Hivantish societies.

Tricin

After migrating to Tricin, Remonitionists start to expand their universalism to other universes too -- one result is that there are three (sometimes two) sacred texts that Remonitionists read in Tricin:

  • Old Testament
    • interpreted in a quasi-Gnostic/Marcionite way? The OT god's repeated vindictiveness is essentially a metaphor for dukkha and reveals Him to be less than ultimate; He's a problem for Christs to solve.
    • Some abandon the Old Testament altogether
    • Esther and Song of Songs are not interpreted as being about YHWH
  • Fornloíd
  • a "New Testament" (a set of "Gospels"?) specifically authored/canonized by Trician Remonitionists, very different from our New Testament -- it not only mentions many Christs, it has a "cyclical" eschatology very different from Revelation (addressed to churches in Earth, Tricin and many other universes).

Some MCC churches read the Imthumitil too. These texts are commonly read in a special "New Trician" translation, though other translations are read too in some churches.

For Earthlings, MCC can appear very New Age-ish.

Art in MCC

MCC has produced a lot of psychedelic and New Age style art in Cualand; biblically accurate angels are a very common motif and show up in church architecture. Lotuses are another common motif, from the Buddhist influence on Remonitionists. (include Trician symbolism)
