If they have acted upon their perversion then they need the full force of the law brought against them. They then need to repent and seek care to keep from repeating their sin. We can forgive, but the person must show true repentance and a will to change.

how the christianity should approach the pedophile, how to cure him? (him or her)
It's a sin the church cannot forgive or tolerate so there is no social redemption or ministry opportunities.

It's a mental illness that causes harm to others, since "love always protects"

there must be "healthy boundaries"

do you believe in the impossible for god?
I understand that even today there are no real apostles or COVID would have been cured.

So though it is not impossible for God, the faith in humans is not available today.

Of course it is a mental disease, no one in their right frame of mind would commit such a perversion. But that does not excuse one from prosecution. In the case of pedophilia there are other innocent people involved that are harmed for the rest of their lives. This cannot go without some sort of prosecution.

Just because we forgive someone, or they are forgiven does not mean they are immune to the consequences of their actions. This is particularly the case in sins that are caused to other people, that are against our civil laws. There are always real world consequences for our real world decisions.
