The Order of Primus Saint Croix was founded by the followers of Kenyatta Felix who believe that he fulfilled the Bible on May 18, 2000. Kenyatta Felix (born February 4, 1967) is a Rastafarian preacher who was aspiring to be a priest at the Church of Haile Selassie I, Inc. in New York in the late 90s and was given the Catholic baptismal name Primus St. Croix as a child. He was deported to his home country of St. Lucia in the British Commonwealth Islands after he made national headline news when he was arrested and put on trial for protesting idolatry by using a sledge hammer to desecrate Roman Catholic Church statues outside at least eleven different churches around the Brooklyn area from September 26, 1999 to March 15, 2000 with twelve of his accomplices. He also wrote theological letters which he left behind at every crime scene and sent copies to the Vatican in the hopes that their congregation would repent from their sins. Primus denounced graven images citing scripture and testified to the authorities that His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie the First is the God and Father of Jesus Christ whose laws, principles and policies must be adhered to. Adherents of the Order focus on church scholarship as well as the study of Imperial Ethiopian law, they worship Emperor Haile Selassie as God and they believe that Primus St. Croix is Jesus Christ. They do not consider Jesus Christ to be part of the Godhead as they interpret the messiah to be the prophet of God and base their theology upon the biblical descriptions of Christ which they believe correlate with the actions of Primus St. Croix; these parallels are viewed as mathematically improbable attestations rather than coincidences. Another significant point of contention is their denouncement of cannabis usage based on Emperor Haile Selassie's criminalization and classification of it as a Schedule I narcotic. On Thursday, February 13, 2020 the Order of Primus St. Croix became the first Rastafari mansion in history to cite Imperial Ethiopian case law. They are also responsible for explaining that Emperor Haile Selassie the First has the titles King of Kings and Lord of Lords by association of his title "Le'ul-Ras," as well as publishing many rare articles, journals, out of print books and never-before-seen information about Haile Selassie such as the English version of the 1974 Draft Constitution, the Journal of Ethiopian Law (1964–1973), the full transcript of the CBC Royal Train interview with Bill McNeil, the English version of the Consolidated Laws of Ethiopia, textbooks from the Haile Sellassie I University's Faculty of Law, the book "An Anthology of Some of the Public Utterances of His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I" originally published in 1949 by the Press and Information Department, the book "Eritrea Hails Her Sovereign", the Ministry of Information's Liberation and Silver Jubilee books whose chief editor was David Abner Talbot and a refutation to Dr. Yohannes Woldemariam's popular article "The Romantic Rewriting of Haile Selassie’s Legacy Must Stop" which inaccurately criticized the Emperor. The Order's doctrine has been described as "Unitarian Rastafarianism" because it rejects trinitarianism, the members cite scriptures from all religious texts to prove that God is the King of Heaven; Christ is believed a messenger who guides people to put their trust in God the King and Christ did not preach about himself because he's fallible and mortal. Supernatural theories and literal historical interpretations of religious texts are rejected and replaced with the scientific method and logic. November 2, 1930 is regarded as the Sabbath and is observed in everyday life through faith and works whereas the Roman Catholic Sunday law is viewed as vanity and idolatry. Every religious text such as the Bible, Quran, the Bhagavad Gita, Guru Granth Sahib, Zhuangzi, Popol Vuh, Apocrypha, Dhammapada, Nag Hammadi, the Book of the Dead, Jain Agamas, the Tao Te Ching, Confucian Analects and the Book of Mormon are accepted as valid based upon the principles that Haile Selassie the First declared, "Study and examine all but choose and follow the good." The original members were loosely known as "Primus Yutes" in New York however Omar Tobijah is credited for officially naming the organization The Order of Primus St. Croix in 2012.
