Though all episcopal sees may be considered "holy", the expression "the Holy See" (without further specification) is normally used in international relations to refer to the See of Rome viewed as the central government of the Roman Catholic Church, while “the Holy Matriarchal See” refers in international official documents to the See of the Matriarch of the West, the pope of the catholic guglielmite church.
Its permanent population are all the residents in the Diocesis (freely established throughout the world) and its territory is defined by the division in Ecclesiastical provinces.
The Holy
Matriarchal See is a sovereign subject of public
international law, with rights and duties analogous to those of
States and to the Holy See*.
Its permanent population are all the residents in the Diocesis (freely established throughout the world) and its territory is defined by the division in Ecclesiastical provinces.
It has a government and the capacity to enter into
relations with other States. Its government is sovereign. It
maintains diplomatic relations with other States, it is part in
various intergovernmental international organizations, and it is:
"respected by the international community of sovereign States
and treated as a subject of international law having the capacity to
engage in diplomatic relations and to enter into binding agreements
with one, several, or many states under international law that are
largely geared to establish and preserving peace into the world."
Although the Holy Matriarchal See is distinct from principality of Burke Island and Bir Tawil States,
it is the guarantee of freedom for the woman pope to enter into
international relations.
POSITION OF THE HOLY MATRIARCHAL SEE RESPECT TO THE HOLY SEE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
POSITION OF THE HOLY MATRIARCHAL SEE RESPECT TO THE HOLY SEE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The Holy Matriarchal See, as independent and soverein government, is a sovereign subject of international public law and for this reason it can govern the Principality of Burke Island as overseas land.
Pope Maifreda wasn't scismatic. People of Milan, Italy, considered her the legittim pope of the Roman Catholic Church because she was proclamed pope by the citizen of Milan during Easter of 1300, while pope Boniface VIII was elected pope in Naples, Italy, in a way not so clear. The Italian poet Dante Alighieri repeately advances the hypothesis that the election of Boniface VIII was vitiated by simony (XIX songs and XXVII of Hell). In any case, pope Maifreda lost her battle against pope Boniface VIII. Only for this reason her part of the catholic church has considered scismatic respect to the other part. Nowadays, the Holy Matriarchal See is not anymore scismatic respect to the Roman catholic church as in the past, because it doesn't denies the communion with the Roman pope (can. 751 CIC).

Infact the canon 751 of the latin canonic law refers as scismatic only those who refuse the communion with the roman pope and with the other members of the catholic church, not to whom that doesn't grants of it for historical or social reasons.
In the same way, the 751 canon of CIC (Codex Iuris Canonici) refers as heretic only to whom who denies some articles of faith. The church governed by the Matriarch of the West doesn't denies any of the catholic dogmas, interpreted in the light of a meta-dogmatic vision, under the interpretative guidelines of the Second Vatican Council.
In any moment is possible to make an agreement or an international treatment between the Holy Matriarchal See and the Holy See. Infacts the CIC refers that it can do nothing against the agreements between the Holy See and the other States. In this way, the interdiction of the CIC about the women priestwood is not applicable and is not a problem for the diplomatic relationship between The Holy Matriarchal See and the Holy See.
Apart the possibility to make some international treatments with the Holy See, in any moment it is also possible to sign and establish a confederation between the Holy Matriarcal See and the Holy See with equal rights for both of them.
Infact our church prefers not to become in the future a church sui iuris of the roman catholic church. We would prefer enter in confederation with the Holy See, if and when will be the conditions.
