Question

the pardoners tale Is he truly evil, simply drunk, or so used to cheating that he does it automatically?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pardoner is really bad and this is admitted by him.

Explanation:

The pardoner admits that he acts out of greed and hypocrisy. He recognizes that he is a bad person, a crook, who has no remorse for twisting the faithful and exploiting the offerings they give to the church. The padorner's lack of remorse is because he is so used to being a crook that he cheats automatically, without thinking twice, even though he knows it's a sin.
