In fact, [the UCKG] is apparently a truly criminal association, whose only purpose is enrichment."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cesnur.org/testi/bryn/br_farias.htm|title=CESNUR - THE SIEGE OF OPORTO'S COLISEUM|website=Cesnur.org|access-date=13 September 2018}}</ref> The Belgian report generated controversy for varied reasons, and the Parliament ultimately rejected most of it.<ref>
