    Solution

    I- The council takes a lot of knocking, but on this occasion its efforts demand nothing but applause . When but is used as a Preposition and preceded by any form of the Verb do, then but is followed with Bare Infinitive. II- What these churches have to offer, in addition to intangibles like eternal salvation, is concrete, material assistance.
