In a candid interview with WDSU, Aymond said the reports of widespread abuse at the hands of priests in Pennsylvania are beyond troubling.
"Sexual abuse is evil. It's a sin. There is no excuse whatsoever. It's evil, not of God and we must condemn it," Aymond said.
Aymond wants to condemn not just the abusers but also those who were complicit and never reported abuse to the authorities.
