The pardoner is greedy and hypocritical. He preaches against such sins and sells "holy" relics to pardon people afraid of the consequences of their sins. Before beginning his tale, he explains that he agrees that love of money is the root of all evil and after telling it, he accuses the other pilgrims of sinning and offers the relics. The moral of the tale was that greed leads to suffering and ultimately to death. i think the pardoner does believe that but is more interested in money.
