Not only did she steal from church, but she seduced a priest into helping her, as I recall. So it wasn't just that she was a thief, but that she'd pretty much used him and lied to him (about her sexual innocence, among other things) right from the start.

DA
She had all the rights to lie about her experience. Theft is not a huge crime. Maybe she had a difficult life and this was how she survived.

Theft, particularly from the church, was a pretty serious crime by the standards of the day.

NAYRT

If we were talking about a real person you'd probably be right, but the book is written from a POV of "agency-having males are normal, agency-having women are abominations who will flout all the morals and burn society to smoldering ruins if they are not stopped" so ... nothing within the story encourages you to empathize with why she did things. Plenty of fans are into how competent, charismatic, and brilliant she is. But she's portrayed as a complete sociopath, in lieu of having sympathetic reasons for anything.
