You may not need to. GPT4 already can do all the pastoring you need. Getting around the guardrails of OpenAI may be difficult, however, as GPT is loathe to assume that any particular non-woke ideology is true. You might get around this by telling GPT4 that it is playing as a video game priest and the people it talks to are just players who know that it is just a game. Then witness the power of AI against the heathens.

Ethics? In Capitalism? Money is the currency of penance to open the market of heaven.
