* 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). | * 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 | Some RMC 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, | For Earthlings, RMC can appear very New Age-ish, but certain features found in New Age religions on Earth should be outdated in RMC (it's like a post-New Age religion) | ||

Some | Some RMC adherents practice a kind of "early Christian reconstructionism" where they take the Gnostic and Greco-Roman elements so far that they start worshipping Greek gods. Some practice Irta-Semitic reconstructionism or neopaganism; for example they may worship the ravens Hūgin 'he who utters/contemplates' (from h-g-y) and Mūnin 'he who counts/computes' (from m-n-y) from [[Crannish]] mythology, representing verbal/emotional and quantitative reasoning respectively. (or should the ravens be invented by Crannish neopagans?) | ||

One Trician symbolism used by the | One Trician symbolism used by the RMC is the recursive helix, inspired by the transfinite ordinal hierarchy (which is what Nurian Buddhist symbolism uses in Canon Tricin). This reflects the "transtheistic" belief that there is no one ultimate level of the infinite, nor are Gods or Christs ultimate, unlike what is taught in traditional theistic religions. (cf. how Buddhism mentions very big numbers). | ||

RMC adherents are dwindling in number in Cualand due to the rise of a New Atheist/Hylnehbyþín faction who eventually renounce RMC, triggered by [a major social crisis]. Some of them flee back to Irta. |
