It's a very minor character, more like a glorified cameo, he doesn't do much. Still, I enjoyed seeing him.

Reply to TIL that during the Edo period in Japan Catholicism was outlawed and groups of Japanese catholics had secret rooms in their houses and they made statues of the Virgin Mary and other saints that would look like Buddhist statues by jeanleonino
You have to take into account the context. Imagine that in the United States, at the peak of the war on terror, people started converting en masse to Islam. A very strict government would see it as the enemy gaining traction in the home turf. Not unlike the conflict between Catholics and protestants in Ireland. The idea was to keep national unity and become free of foreign ideologies.
I am not saying they were right, just that it was not done on a whim. That aspect is even seen in the movie Silence (2016), that is why it's so brilliant.
