Gosh!
I don't think that the Archicofradia is, or means to be, an "August" group.
I apologize if whatever I may have written about it spawned such mistaken  
impression.
The Archicofradia is, and has been,  for centuries, a means for international 
Saint James (Santiago} pilgrims to come together and feel as one. That is why 
it is  called the 'Universal Cofradia'  (brother/sister hood) of the Apostle 
Saint James.
Any pilgrim partaking by his/her pilgrimage of the significance of the 
Apostle  Saint James' ministry to the ends of the earth ("Finisterra), within the 
millenia-old cultural/religious  tenor,  care,  and preservation thereof  by  
the Catholic Church, may  join the Archicofradia.
I was honored, and fortunate, to have been made a member,  to my unexpected 
and everlasting surprise, because of  Camino related efforts, which in and of 
themselves, oblivious of ancillary recognition and such,   afforded me a lot of 
emotional fulfillment and  personal happiness  and which  I would have 
carried out anyway. ( But  it does have impressed me no end that the efforts and 
activities of pilgrims do not go unnoticed).
If you should like to join the Archiconfraternity I can send you the 
information to do so.
Warm regards,
Rosina
