yes, a Jewish child molester is higher than Mother Theresa. The Jew might have to go deep deep into gehenom bu that is between him and Hashem. Between him and us we have to try to be makarev a jew that has fallen so far and try to help him do teshuvah the same like any other jew. Even if he spends 70000 years in the 7th level of gehenom at the end he will get his Olam HaBah and it will be far above anything mother Theresa will see.
Everybody has areas in their Middos that they find more difficult than others. Being a ben Melech is mechayev a person to be arrogant mitzad atzmo. The fact that we are ALSO requiried to be anavim doesn’t detract that from. Some people are natural anavim and have trouble working on the pride they must feel as a Ben melech and some people are naturally arrogant and have trouble working on the anavah they need to feel from tikun haMidos.
