Jesus said something like, "Evil must happen, but woe onto him who does it." So Judas is still guilty, I think... including his despair after his betrayal of his Master, so that he committed suicide.

Then again, if he repented in his final moments of consciousness... ???

And not all Xians are bad: there's this reverend name Martin who has a national holiday!
