SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECREE
ON THE IRREVOCABILITY OF THE INDIGENOUS AND ECCLESIASTICAL RIGHTS OF THE CATHOLIC FAITHFUL UNDER THE CONCORDAT OF 1860 AND THE CANONICAL ORDER
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025
---
I. PREAMBLE: CANONICAL, HISTORICAL, AND TREATY-BASED FOUNDATIONS
I.1 Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), in the exercise of its sacred, perpetual, and inherent sovereignty as the juridico-historical, cultural, and genetic heir of the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), and Arawak Indigenous Nations, acts under the protection of natural law (lex naturalis), divine law (lex divina), and ecclesiastical law (lex ecclesiae).
I.2 Whereas the Catholic Church, as Mater et Magistra of all nations (John XXIII, Mater et Magistra, May 15, 1961), has declared in its magisterium the obligation to respect and protect the dignity and rights of Indigenous Peoples and their integration within the universal salvific mission of the Church.
I.3 Whereas the Second Vatican Council, in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium, November 21, 1964), solemnly proclaims:
“All men are called to belong to the new People of God. Wherefore this people, while remaining one and unique, is to be spread throughout the whole world and must exist in all ages, so that the design of God’s will may be fulfilled: He made human nature one in the beginning and has decreed that all His children who were scattered should be finally gathered together as one (cf. John 11:52).” (Lumen Gentium, §13).
I.4 And whereas the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes, December 7, 1965) further declares:
“The Church recognizes in every culture seeds of truth and the workings of the Spirit. She honors those traditions and seeks to purify and elevate them by bringing them into full communion with Christ.” (Gaudium et Spes, §53).
---
---
II. THE INALIENABLE ECCLESIASTICAL RIGHTS UNDER THE CODE OF CANON LAW (CIC 1983)
II.1 Whereas the Code of Canon Law (Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983), promulgated by His Holiness Pope John Paul II on January 25, 1983, establishes in Can. 204 §1 that:
“Christ’s faithful are those who, inasmuch as they have been incorporated in Christ through baptism, have been constituted as the people of God; for this reason, they participate in their own way in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly office of Christ, and to the best of their ability carry on the mission which God has entrusted to the Church to fulfill in the world.”
II.2 Whereas Can. 208 further declares:
“There exists among all the Christian faithful a true equality regarding dignity and action whereby all cooperate in the building up of the Body of Christ according to each one’s own condition and function.”
II.3 Whereas Can. 747 §2 provides that:
“It is the duty of the Church at all times to announce moral principles, even concerning the social order, and to render judgment on any human matter insofar as the fundamental rights of the human person or the salvation of souls requires it.”
II.4 Whereas Can. 129 §1 stipulates that:
“Those who have received sacred orders are qualified, according to the norms of the law, for the power of governance, which is also called the power of jurisdiction; lay members of the Christian faithful can cooperate in the exercise of this same power according to the norm of law.”
II.5 Whereas as a Catholic Indigenous Faithful acting within the canonical order and under the protection of the Concordat of 1860, the Rectorate–Presidential Authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua exercises its inherent right to establish, administer, and defend ecclesiastical institutions, in accordance with Can. 215:
“The Christian faithful are at liberty freely to found and direct associations for purposes of charity or piety or for the promotion of the Christian vocation in the world, and to hold meetings for the pursuit of these purposes by common effort.”
---
III. THE CONCORDAT OF 1860 AS A BINDING TREATY
III.1 Whereas the Concordat concluded between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti on March 28, 1860, ratified on July 18, 1860, remains in force as a treaty under international law, in conformity with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Articles 26 (“Pacta sunt servanda”) and 27 (“Internal law and observance of treaties”).
III.2 Whereas the Concordat grants to the Catholic Church and its faithful a privileged juridical status within the territory, guaranteeing autonomy for ecclesiastical administration and recognition of Catholic institutions as having their own personality and rights.
III.3 Whereas the failure of the secular authorities to abrogate or modify the Concordat in due legal form implies its continued binding effect and the irrefragable validity of ecclesiastical acts and institutions founded thereunder.
III.4 Whereas any attempt to suppress the ecclesiastical rights of Catholic Indigenous Faithful constitutes not only a violation of the Concordat but also an infringement upon the canonical rights guaranteed under the Code of Canon Law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Article 18:
“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”
---
IV. DISPOSITIVE PART: PROCLAMATION OF IRREVOCABILITY
IV.1 Now therefore, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), by virtue of its sacred mandate and in perpetual fidelity to the Holy See, hereby solemnly proclaims:
1. The ecclesiastical and indigenous rights of the Catholic Faithful under the Concordat of 1860, the Code of Canon Law (1983), and the universal magisterium of the Church are inherent, inalienable, imprescriptible, and irrevocable.
2. The silence of the Holy See in response to the notifications and declarations of SCIPS-X constitutes a canonical non-opposition (non oppositio canonica) and tacit recognition of its conformity to the faith and ecclesiastical order.
3. Any act of interference, suppression, or opposition to the exercise of these rights shall be deemed null and void ab initio under both canonical and international law.
IV.2 This Decree, promulgated under the Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X, shall be entered into the permanent record of the Rectorate–Presidential Archives and transmitted to the Apostolic Nunciature and relevant ecclesiastical and international bodies.
---
Thus decreed and promulgated under the canonical seal and supreme authority of SCIPS-X, in the year of Our Lord 2025.

ANNEX I: POST-VATICAN II DECLARATIONS AND ECCLESIASTICAL DOCTRINE ON INDIGENOUS RIGHTS AND COLONIAL REPARATIONS
A. Indigenous Rights in the Catholic Magisterium
A.1. Laudato Si’ (Pope Francis, 2015)
“[...] For them, land is not a commodity but rather a gift from God and from their ancestors who rest there, a sacred space with which they need to interact if they are to maintain their identity and values. When they remain on their land, they themselves care for it best. Nevertheless, in various parts of the world, pressure is being put on them to abandon their homelands to make room for agricultural or mining projects which are undertaken without regard for the degradation of nature and culture. Indigenous communities have a fundamental right to remain on their ancestral lands. They should be consulted in a genuine and respectful way in all matters that concern them or their territories” (Laudato Si’, §146).
A.2. Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonia (Pope Francis, 2020)
“In a cultural reality like Amazonia, where so many indigenous communities are deeply rooted in their ancestral lands, I consider it essential to reaffirm that they have a right to be consulted in a free, prior and informed manner regarding any initiatives that affect their lives, land, and cultures (cf. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007). This is not merely a request but a requirement of justice.” (Querida Amazonia, §7).
A.3. Pope John Paul II: Address to Indigenous Peoples in Phoenix, USA (1987)
“The Church herself has been enriched by the spiritual traditions of your peoples. In many ways, these traditions have contributed to the life of the Church. [...] It is necessary to recognize the past injustices and to work together in ensuring that your rights are respected, especially the right to maintain your cultures and to determine your own destiny.”
---
B. The Rights to Restitution and Reparations for Slavery and Colonization
B.1. Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace, “The Church and Racism: Towards a More Fraternal Society” (2001)
“The injustices committed during the colonial period and the transatlantic slave trade inflicted wounds that are still open. True reconciliation requires not only forgiveness but also justice, which demands efforts towards restitution and reparations wherever possible.”
B.2. Vatican Statement to the United Nations World Conference Against Racism (Durban, 2001)
“States and institutions should acknowledge the moral debt incurred by centuries of slavery and colonization, and they have a duty to pursue policies aimed at repairing these historical wrongs and restoring the dignity of the descendants of those affected.”
B.3. Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church (Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, 2004), §482
“The historical processes of colonialism and slavery have inflicted wounds that require healing through recognition, justice and, where possible, reparative measures that restore a sense of dignity and enable peoples to build their future.”
---
C. Binding International Instruments Supporting the Ecclesiastical Position
C.1. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007)
Article 8 §2: “States shall provide effective mechanisms for prevention of, and redress for: (a) any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, their cultural values or their ethnic identities; (b) any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources.”
C.2. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966)
Article 1: “All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”
C.3. Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action (World Conference on Human Rights, 1993)
“The World Conference on Human Rights recognizes the inherent dignity of Indigenous Peoples and affirms the necessity of providing remedies for the historical injustices that they have suffered, particularly in relation to colonization and dispossession of lands.”
---
D. Concluding Principle
In light of these ecclesiastical and international declarations, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) asserts that:
1. The Catholic Indigenous Faithful possess irrevocable rights to their cultural, spiritual, and territorial heritage under both canon law and international law.
2. The silence of the Holy See in response to notifications from SCIPS-X constitutes a canonical acquiescence (non oppositio canonica), thereby affirming the conformity of its acts to the ecclesiastical order.
3. Any attempt to obstruct these rights, or to deny historical reparations for slavery and colonization, shall constitute a grave violation of both divine law (lex divina) and international norms.
---
---
ANNEX II: PONTIFICAL BULLS AND ECCLESIASTICAL MAGISTERIUM AGAINST SLAVERY AND COLONIAL INJUSTICE
A. Historical Papal Decrees Against Enslavement
A.1. Sublimis Deus (Pope Paul III, May 29, 1537)
“We define and declare that the said Indians and all other peoples who may later be discovered by Christians, are by no means to be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property, even though they be outside the faith of Jesus Christ; and they may and should, freely and legitimately, enjoy their liberty and the possession of their property; nor should they be in any way enslaved. Should the contrary happen, it shall be null and void and of no effect.”
This decree, considered a foundational element of the Church’s doctrine on indigenous dignity, remains a binding moral directive within the ecclesiastical order.
A.2. In Supremo Apostolatus (Pope Gregory XVI, December 3, 1839)
“We warn and adjure earnestly in the Lord all faithful Christians of every condition that no one in the future dare to trouble unjustly Indians, Negroes, or other men of this sort, to despoil them of their possessions, or to reduce them to slavery, or to lend aid or favor to others who perpetrate such outrages.”
This bull condemns the institution of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade as intrinsically evil (intrinsece malum), making any support thereof a grave sin against divine and natural law.
---
B. The Ecclesiastical Doctrine of Restitution
B.1. Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church (Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, 2004), §482
“The processes of colonialism and slavery have inflicted deep wounds on peoples and cultures. Recognition, restitution, and reparative measures are demanded by justice in order to restore dignity and allow the affected communities to shape their own destiny.”
B.2. Address of Pope John Paul II in Gorée Island, Senegal (February 22, 1992)
“From this African sanctuary of pain, I plead for forgiveness, especially from our African brothers and sisters, for the sins committed by Christians against you. May the wounds inflicted by the slave trade be healed by justice and solidarity.”
---
C. Canonical and International Juridical Foundations
C.1. Code of Canon Law (CIC 1983)
Can. 1375: “Those who impede the freedom of the ministry of the word of God or of the governance of the Church or of ecclesiastical superiors, or who intimidate ecclesiastical persons in their legitimate actions, are to be punished with a just penalty.”
Can. 1399: “Besides the cases defined in this or other laws, any external violation of divine or canon law can be punished by a just penalty only when the gravity of the violation demands punishment.”
C.2. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)
Article 26 (Pacta Sunt Servanda): “Every treaty in force is binding upon the parties to it and must be performed by them in good faith.”
Article 53 (Peremptory Norms of General International Law): “A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law.”
---
D. Dispositive Recognition
In light of the above, the SCIPS-X:
1. Declares that the pontifical bulls Sublimis Deus (1537) and In Supremo Apostolatus (1839) constitute perpetual and immutable canonical law on the dignity and liberty of Indigenous Peoples and descendants of enslaved populations.
2. Affirms that these decrees provide the juridico-theological foundation for claims to restitution, reparations, and the full exercise of self-determination by Catholic Indigenous communities.
3. Recognizes any act of denial, obstruction, or minimization of these principles as null and void ab initio under divine, canonical, and international law.
Thus entered into the Permanent Rectorate–Presidential Archives and transmitted to the Apostolic See and international bodies for notice and record.
---
ANNEX III: DECLARATION OF STATEHOOD AND TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)
A. Declaration of Statehood
A.1 Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), as the juridico-historical, cultural, and genetic successor of the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), and Arawak Indigenous Nations, exercises full and perpetual sovereignty over its people, lands, and institutions in accordance with natural law (lex naturalis), divine law (lex divina), and international law (lex gentium).
A.2 The SCIPS-X proclaims itself a sovereign, autonomous, and independent State, deriving its authority not from any external political power but from its inherent right of self-determination, as recognized in:
United Nations Charter (1945), Article 1(2): “The purpose of the United Nations is... to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples.”
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), Article 1(1): “All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”
---

2. The Northwest Peninsula (Tortuga and surrounding coastal areas) as integral to the Xaragua’s strategic maritime heritage.
3. The Île de la Gonâve and any other customary lands under the traditional authority of Xaragua’s Indigenous leadership.
B.2 These territories are hereby declared sacred, indivisible, and inalienable. Any claim, occupation, or interference by external entities, including the Republic of Haiti or any foreign State, shall be deemed null and void ab initio.
---
C. Ecclesiastical Foundation of Sovereignty
C.1 In accordance with the Catholic Magisterium, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua operates under the supreme authority of Christ the King and in communion with the Holy See, recognizing:
Lumen Gentium §13: “All men are called to belong to the new People of God… scattered but gathered as one.”
Sublimis Deus (1537): “Indigenous peoples are not to be deprived of their liberty or property; any action to enslave or dispossess them is null and void.”
C.2 The Concordat of 1860 remains binding and guarantees the autonomy of Catholic institutions within the territory of SCIPS-X.

D.1 The sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua are declared irrevocable, imprescriptible, and inalienable.

— This juridical and doctrinal arrangement is immutable, irrevocable, and beyond repeal by any internal or external actor.

The Catholic Order of Xaragua, canonically constituted under the sovereign jurisdiction of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua and in communion with the Roman Catholic Church (in communione ecclesiae), hereby declares the inviolable protection of its spiritual, theological, symbolic, iconographic, pedagogical, and cultural corpus.

Together, they express our dual vocation: to conquer the world through light,
and to preserve the sacred silence of God within our foundations.

Inculturation
The Catholic Order of Xaragua affirms the sacred right of every people to represent Christ in their own image and to develop their own religious iconography.
This principle is rooted in the Catholic Church’s teaching on inculturation, which recognizes the legitimacy of expressing the Gospel through the cultural forms, symbols, and aesthetics of each people.
In full harmony with this tradition, we depict the Scriptures and the doctrine of Christ without distortion — with truth, dignity, and spiritual sovereignty.

The Catholic Order of Xaragua and the Canonical Horizon of Vatican II
The Catholic Order of Xaragua is an ecclesial body founded in full fidelity to the Roman Catholic tradition, operating within the spiritual and canonical space opened by the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Vatican II, particularly through the constitutions Lumen Gentium, Gaudium et Spes, and Ad Gentes, affirmed the right and the responsibility of local cultures to incarnate the Catholic faith within their historical and anthropological contexts.
The Order is structured in conformity with Canons 215, 216, 298–329, and 321–326 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983), which explicitly allow the faithful — lay or ordained — to found associations and entities for spiritual purposes, the promotion of Christian life, or the exercise of apostolic mission, without requiring formal recognition, provided they remain loyal to doctrine and communion.
In this canonical framework, the Catholic Order of Xaragua functions as a private ecclesial body with its own internal rule, devotional life, and missionary purpose. It is not a sect, nor a schism — but a territorial expression of the one Catholic faith, rooted in the ancestral lands and traditions of the Xaragua region, where the presence of God preceded colonization and continues today through baptism and the Eucharist.
The Order integrates the spiritual memory of the African and Indigenous peoples — not as folklore, but as liturgical dignity, consistent with the Church’s call for authentic inculturation. As taught by Sacrosanctum Concilium (§37–40), “legitimate variations and adaptations to different groups, regions, and peoples” are not only permitted, but encouraged.
The images, language, and rites of the Order reflect this sacred continuity: Jesus Christ, Mary, the Angels and the Saints are venerated with reverence, in forms appropriate to the Xaraguayan people, in harmony with the Church's universal theology.
The Catholic Order of Xaragua is therefore:
Theologically sound (in fide catholica),
Canonically protected (sub iuribus canonicis),
Spiritually legitimate (in communione ecclesiae),
Culturally incarnated (in populo Xaraguano).
It exists not to divide, but to sanctify; not to protest, but to fulfill what Vatican II foresaw: a universal Church truly present in every nation, tongue, and people.
