Frollo did not love Esmerelda he lusted for her and as a "Man of God", Lust was a carnal sin. In his possiably decades of service these feelings were luring him away from his faith and in his vanity he believed it his right to claim her body for his own pleasures and if he could not she was a then in bitterness to her rejection he would claim her an maiden of Lilith(a Succubus) or a witch(probably the latter) to which the punishment is death from immolation as stated in the line "Choose me or your Pyre".

Honestly the song is painfully obvious that he does not love her, traditionally Men of God like priests, bishops, cardinals, Judge Frollo, etc. were "supposed" to not engage in acts of sexual nature as it was a sin. Alas as my indication shows most Men of God above monks and preists with any sort of power(politically and/or financially) like bishops, cardinals and even afew popes would do it anyway, the fact Judge Frollo lived to this age without succumbing to this temptation prior to Esmerelda is fairly impressive though most likely to be due to him having too little free time between kicking puppies or strangling orphans.

Also I highly doubt he was an actual Judge like his title suggests as the time period in which its set in did not have roaming bands of street judges who commanded their own armies, so most likely Frollo was an Inquisitor.
