- Santos calls the list of "illegal" actions "endless" - as if the Vatican cared about canon law except to persecute Catholics.
- At a time when thousands of religious communities are closing every year, Santos forbids the IVE to create new foundations and asks them to suppress houses created since 2019.
- Santos says that after 30 years of Vatican intervention, "little has changed" in the IVE - meaning that the Vatican has not yet been able to corrupt it.
- He complains that the IVE doesn't respect its own constitutions, as if any other Novus Ordo group would.
- Shortly before his death in March, Buela visited the IVE in Acilia, Italy, which, Santos writes, became a "massive pilgrimage" of IVE members. Santos calls it "really serious" because it happened "without my knowledge and permission".
- However, Santos' work of destruction has not remained unsuccessful, as almost 275 members have left the IVE, whose 13 provinces and 4 delegations he wants to reduce to 2.
- From a legal point of view, Santos claims that all transfers of personnel in the last four years were carried out "illegally" without his authorisation.
- Santos warns that some 70 IVE presences have "barely one or two religious", although the constitutions allow for this, and he complains that the IVE "cannot limit itself to providing parish priests", although this is done by most religious orders in Latin America.
