Diocese Found in Contempt

If you have nothing to hide and are truly wanting to help people who may have been abused in the past, wouldn't you do everything in your power to assist that process? Now, I am not sure how the records in question might help the case, but it is interesting that the diocese has been found in contempt of the court for basically refusing to cooperate. I don't think that this helps paint a better picture for the Catholic church locally, which already has faced severe criticism for it's handling of abuse cases/victims by S.N.A.P..
