He's completed his parole so the conditions no longer apply.
It makes sense to me that they ordained him. If they refused ordination on the grounds that he is more likely to sin again, it's an implicit acknowledgment that God's redemptive power can't overcome all forms of human sinfulness. Since all sin is rooted in the same primal act of willful opposition to God, it can all be redeemed the same way. If God can't redeem a pedophile, then God also can't redeem the parishioner who had a lustful thought when he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Jones' upper thigh when she was slain in the spirit last week.
