There's a reason people followed the Messiah everywhere he went, crying out to him for mercy. He wasn't like the others. He isn't like the others.Especially to women.
On the other hand, to be fair to the (probably fictional) "grizzled old confessor," maybe he just meant, "This isn't the right context to address your entire history. There's a line. Let's just go with the deliberate actions you've made that you know were wrong."
All these instructional tales (not metaphors) are pretty thin, in my opinion.

A sweetness seems to last amid the dregs of past sorrows.

Considering that was supposed to be a concise "lesson" to us,
patronizing could be too soft a word.
Scathing "wit" that masquerades as loving, Godly counsel.. I'll pass. The real thing isn't anything like that.
