He kinda explicitly did. To forgive all the sins of humanity by acting as the final sacrifice. At least that’s the point I learned in albeit catholic school.

That said, he shouldn’t be allowed around kids, and he shouldn’t get special treatment from the justice system for being a pastor. He should be treated as any other child sex offender.

Hopefully for him his preaching was focused on kindness to the imprisoned, mercy for those who’ve done wrong, loving rehabilitation, and minimizing harm right? It would be incredibly foolish for a Christian pastor to ignore Jesus’s message about how to treat the criminals while committing the most repulsive crimes.
