Have you seen the Scorsese movie Silence about the persecution of Christians in 17th century Japan? Did Father Rodrigues do the right thing in the end ?
My personal opinion is that we don’t know if he “did the right thing in the end”, we are left to wonder if he repented of his apostacy. If this were a true story, I would simply pray for the repose of his soul and leave it in God’s hands.
