It is important for the Church to deal with the Council of Rome, Lateran III (1179) which debated the right of some Church officials to receive compensation when distributing the sacraments, that is why the law was enacted against "simony". Condemnation of the Qataris and prohibition of negotiations with them. The Council of Rome, Lateran IV (1215) clearly defined the Holy Trinity, the creation, Christ the Redeemer and the Sacraments. The heresy of the Alibigez and the Validez was also condemned, as well as the false teachings of Joachim de Flore, concerning the Holy Trinity. The Council of Lyon I (1245) condemned Frederick II.

The Council of Lyons II (1274) examined the unity of the Greek Church with Rome. Special consideration was given to the fact that: "the Holy Spirit comes from the Father and the Son", and this is a beginning. It was further explained about the fate of souls after death, about the 7 sacraments and the supreme head of the bishop of Rome (the Holy Pope).

Let's put an end to the fact that everyone takes for granted, and make the conditions and procedures easier and more flexible, so that foreigners and the rich can create jobs and provide employment services to the Malagasy people.
