I understand the sensitivity there.However, I believe what made that story/film perhaps even more objectionable is not that the Parde sins, but that he apparently sins with no remorse.
In fact, he starts making deals with his soul right away upon his arrival - first when he sees his superior having an affair, and then when not having any scruples about blackmailing the newspaper editor.
Throught the picture, he presents a rather disturbing character - a charismatic fellow on one side, and a cynical and self-absorbed bastard on the other. The bad side in him is dominant, with the good one only making brief appearances... unfortunately.
I suspect if the movie presented him as someone who sinned in the moment ow weakness, but then took the responsibiity that would not be so objectionable to some viewers, but his constant stream of cynical betrails is indeed revolting.
In some sense this could be called Mexican Crimes and Misdemeanors, as the basic motif is similar.
The film is disturbing from more than just the church perseption perspective.
