I think this song is trying to tell us how any judgement in this world is based on the profit-oriented attitude. "The girl CAN have sex with anyone of the villagers but she CANNOT have sex with the priest because the religion said so." but in fact the result is the same, the girl cheated on her husband.
And the truth is, every religion opposes any kind of cheating, no matter who you sleep with, as long as you're married and the man is not your husband, it is wrong. But the villagers redefine the action of cheating just because they don't want to be burned or in the other word, they get the benefit from that definition, that's why in the end, the girl and the priest are the only two people to be punished instead of the whole village. Because they are "Sacrilege" in the villagers' definition
