I think Regina is being sarcastic in this song. "Human of the Year" would seem like a compliment, as if someone were the kindest and purest human on earth... But I think by being the most "human" she means that they are the most flawed, like she's celebrating human imperfection.
"And although they do not know it,
all mankind are now your brothers."
Here she means that no one is perfect and even though this Carl fellow is being awarded, everyone shares it with him, because all humans are flawed, and there can never be a Perfect Human.
"And thus the cathedral had spoken, wishing well to all the sinners."
All the people who have gathered at the ceremony for this "award" are sinners. Carl Prejektorinski is the most imperfect human this year. The name "Carl" sounding like an Average Joe, and "Projektorinski", as Troiaj said, sounds like "projector". This character's flaws are a projection or representation of the flaws of all of humankind.
This song makes me think of a huge group of people all dressed up in graduation gowns, shaking hands and congratulating each other for being ignorant, arrogant, obnoxious, etc.
I believe that Karl Projektorinski is a Paedophile who had fallen in love with a child (maybe Regina) and near the peak of their relationship, he's taken off guard with this award. He's thinking, "I've been a recluse my whole life, and now they've accepted me as their own...with this spotlight on me, I can never physically love her(assuming it's Regina)/him now..."

Afterwards, the album follows with the song Two Birds, which expresses his sorrow for this fact without explicitly explaining to the child how it's come to this, or even why. He was a very good man, but he was still a Paedophile. That's my two cents on this song.

grins and applauds I think you have it spot on.
