Remonitionists
The Remonition began with the observation that the Trinity is not explicitly taught in the New Testament. The First Remonition was simply an anti-trinitarian movement, which also rejected the philosophy on which the Trinity is based (in favor of something similar to our Baruch Spinoza's monism -- the Spinoza figure was originally Catholic, not Jewish). The Second Remonition saw the influx of (Mahayana-like) Buddhist ideas.
By the time Remonitionism entered Tricin, it was already quite inclusive and liberal; the narrative had 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 four) 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)
