I would have said 'Rokarism', personally. Or a very large strand of thought within Rokarism. But I'm most uncertain if this is consistent with the Official Line these days. Where's the Seshnegi expert when we need him (or her)? I imagine Nick is a likely man to pump, here.

Yeppers. I think the split is likely more than 'merely' on different interpretations of Saint worship, but the actual magic differs too. Everything from outright henotheism to pure iconoclasm, just about. As Dave C. says, 'standard' Saint worship smacks someone of Adoptionism of the theist mode. Some documentedly push this even further. Contrariwise, I think that other sects use Saint worship to obtain only 'wizardly' type benefits, whereas others abstain from even that.
Cheers,
Alex.
