If a pastor divorces their spouse, they force themselves and their spouse into adultery Matt 5:32. Adultery is a sin that warranted capital punishment in the OT, God's thoughts of the sin is that it deserved a gruesome and graphic stoning to death.
That in the NT we don't do this to as Catholics would term them, 'mortal sinners' is a separate matter to God's thoughts of the sin, as God does not change Num 23:19. We know that Christians who commit mortal sins tread a very fine line with God from simply considering Annanias and Sapphira.
Now, if the pastor is the one who got divorced, then 1 Cor 7:15 would apply ''if they leave you, let them go''. In this case the pastor is not the one guilty of a mortal sin.
Of course we can repent of mortal sins. Even those in the OT could. Psalm 51:17 existed for all OT. But this did not free them from a stoning to death and nor should free us from being allowed to preach in church.
You need to understand that Christians and Jews are judged to a higher standard. Unbelievers, different case completely, as Paul explains in 1 Cor 5:9-10.
