ROCK ISLAND — A Quad City area judge says it’s time for the Davenport Diocese to come clean because of one newly filed civil lawsuit against the diocese. Last week, a Clinton County judge ordered the diocese to release information about all sexual abuse over the past 50 years. The Davenport Diocese says it is helping protect the confidentiality of the victims by not releasing the names before the ruling. The ruling now opens the door for the diocese to fulfill a national request to help stop sexual misconduct by priests.
