The House of Bishops reconsidered resolutions B019 and B020 in order to adopt (D043), which was separately passed by the House of Deputies. Note that the Deputies resolution, D043, combines all the names of bishops listed in HB resolution B019, and the one bishop, Leopold Frade, who was listed in HB resolution B020.
