Yes, people can change. It doesn't mean that everyone has to be open to their change. The world doesn't revolve around us therefore we don't need to be open to their change in order for it to occur and for there to be positive outcomes. I see this topic how I see humans, in general. Everyone has some shit with them and you would smell their shit if you walked in their shoes, knew everything there was to know about them, or knew what they were thinking. Everyone gets on at least one other person's nerves and that includes the holier than thou people of the world. Everyone has at least one person who thinks they are batshit crazy or worth avoiding. And everyone...I mean everyone...has at least one person who wonders why and how in the hell other people find their jokes funny or enjoy being around that person. With all of that in mind, it is important to remember that even the most heinous offenders have at least one person who loves them--even if from afar.
Also, it depends on what you mean by persona of "not-a-really-nice-person".

What's the purpose? Are you bored? Are you a private investigator? Are you a journalist? Are you just curious?
If I was curious, I may listen to a sermon online. I may also visit the religious institution. However, I have nothing to hide so it wouldn't be in secret. It would be discreet in terms of having good judgment and poise. I wouldn't do any of this with the purpose of putting the person on blast. I also wouldn't do it with the purpose of acting as though my approval makes the world go 'round. As long as this person is living a lawful life, "God bless us everyone" like Tiny Tim.
