Controversies
The church has attracted some criticism from the residents of La Castellana neighborhood, who have complained that the large attendances bring problems such as the invasion of public spaces, an upsurge in street sellers, and cars poorly parked in the streets, all of which have resulted in an increase in insecurity, according to the residents. The church has rejected these claims.[5][7]
