Tossup

The “five pledges” are made during this religion’s ceremonies, whose “major” and “minor” types are distinguished by the presence of a rear altar and the use of a “Drum of Thunder.” A text of this religion’s “New Canonical Codes” establishes its hierarchy of a pope presiding over officials divided into three branches that wear either red, yellow, or blue robes. 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■
