This religion has 72 bishops (10[1])and believes that there are 72 planets ordered by their proximity to heaven. This religion believes that its various inspirations, like Daoism and Confucianism, (10[1])will be united (10[1])during a period called the “Third Amnesty.” This religion venerates three major saints, including Sun Yat-sen and Victor Hugo. For 10 points, name this syncretic (10[1])religion that developed (10[1])in Vietnam. ■END■
