After the scandal over sexual crimes against children by priests, the Church is facing public criticism. Vilnius Archbishop Gintaras Grušas apologized to the victims and the public, but experts say they have not heard what specific actions are promised to be taken to prevent the crimes. To the proposal to establish an independent investigative commission, the archbishop responds that now is not the time.
