	CESNUR - Caodaism: Global Ambition vs Persecution
		Caodaism has been labeled as a sect, socio-religious or politico-religious group, secret society, occult syncretic religion, syncretist religious movement.
		Notably the term "sect" seems to be value-laden and heuristically unsatisfactory, as denotes a religious conflict society, emphasizing individual conviction in religion and ethics with high degree of separation from external society - and this is obviously not the case concerning the Cao Dai, emphasizing the system of collective dogma and authority.
		It is understood that Caodaism is fundamentally syncretic, but the syncretists are not usually ecumenical diplomats seeking peace between warring traditions; they are religious persons seeking to respond to new religious tensions and needs.

	Origins and Early History
		But it would be wrong to regard Caodaism as in any sense a monolithic movement, always focused upon a single centre; nor would it be correct to accept 18 November 1926 as the date of its first beginning.
		The religious propaganda of Caodaism was certainly a new phenomenon amongst Vietnamese secret sects, and because we have no comparable material concerning earlier groups it is impossible to make detailed comparisons, in such matters as doctrine, ritual, or organizational hierarchies.
		Nor is there so far any evidence to link the personalities of Caodaism with earlier movements: a fact which in itself proves nothing, of course, because it was unlikely that a newly organized sect would choose its leaders from amongst those whose leadership of the earlier movements was already well known to the police.

		Caodaism is the product of an attempt to create the ideal religion through the fusion of the secular and religious philosophies of the East and West.
		Although its main tenets include believing in one god, and practicing priestly celibacy, vegetarianism, reverence for the dead, and communications with the spirits through seances, perhaps Caodaism's most interesting and quirky aspect is its own debate over which deity was the primary source of creation.
		Disciples believe that Caodaism avoids the failures of the first two periods because it is based on divine truth as communicated through spirits, which serve as messengers of salvation and instructors of doctrine.

		From a moral point of view Caodaism reminds people of their duties towards themselves, their family, their society (our broader family), and humanity (the universal family).

		If the caodaic canon is, in greater part, extracted from ancient religions, it sounds that for fulfilling the religious unity, it made one's own the recognized principles as being of eternal truths, the assertion of the Divine Law.
		It is to these eternal truths that Caodaism has similar dogma; but there where certain truths have been misunderstood or distorted by a false interpretation, the new religion takes it upon itself to reestablish them into their real sense.
