The HHO on Wednesday said that the "Iustitia et Pax" commission had failed to give any argument or proof for the claims it made public on 28 June.
"An objective observer must agree that the Catholic Church in Croatia enjoys many social and material benefits using the fact that a majority of Croatian citizens declare themselves as Catholics," reads the HHO statement signed by this nongovernmental organisation's president Ivan Zvonimir Cicak.
