	Davenport Diocese Considers Appeal in Sexual Abuse Lawsuit WHO September 20, 2006 http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5432496&nav=2HAB Davenport, Iowa The Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport is considering its next move in a sexual abuse lawsuit. On Monday, a Scott County jury awarded one and a-half (m) million dollars to a Davenport man who claimed he was abused by a priest more than 40 years ago. He sued the diocese and Monsignor Thomas Feeney, who died in 1981. The jury found the diocese negligent. The diocese maintains it had no knowledge of the abuse. It also asserts the statute of limitations on the man's claim expired years ago. An appeal is an option. Diocese attorney Rand Wonio (WOH'-ne-oh) says a decision hasn't been made.
