What it says in the title. Though generally non-interventionist and isolationist, the Brotherhood of Spode (now part of the Mirusian Theocratic Congregation) was well-knownfor it's missionary work, and is credited with spreading Spodism troughout much of Mirus.

Given that the two are not that far away from one another, is it possible that it were BoS missionaries who first introduced Spodism to the Monoculians? They were known for their advanced holographic technology, which they not only used to make their fleets much larger than they actually were, but also to pass as members of the race they wanted to convert. Actively intervening in the affairs of non-spacefaring races is illegal under Mirusian galactic law, but the BoS' holographic technology was so good that they avoided being caught.

As it stands now, the Mirusian Theocratic Congregation is no longer hardline-Spodistic, and is in fact tolerant of followers of the God That Will Come, possibly straining the relationship between the two MTCs. Plus, the Mirusian Theocratic Congregation is quite expansionistic towards other Spodists nowadays, so the might seek to annex the Monoculian Theocratic Republic, which the Monoculians will of course resist...
