 Ferraz participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, and Pope Paul VI appointed him to serve on one of Vatican II's working commissions.Upon his death in 1969, Ferraz was buried with full honors accorded a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church.Since then, however, the Vatican has repeatedly expressed reservations about ICAB's sacraments and does not recognize them; in 2012 Rome declared ICAB schismatic and reaffirmed its negation of ICAB's "illicit" orders.
