"We receive complaints and suggestions from the brothers. Sometimes we cannot do anything because they are matters approved in the Councils. Recently, a body has been created in charge of attending to the associations, foundations and congregations to have a continuous meeting with the brotherhoods. They are They are the ones who are pending.
