so, it was Judas who got away with it.
Dear Chris,
Well that rather depends on whether you subscribe to the hypothesis that he
was eternally damned because he committed suicide or to the alternative that
he was (ultimately) saved because he regretted his betrayal of Christ even
though he did not express repentance in a conventional manner.
Was this debated in the Middle Ages ? Or was the first hypothesis above
taken as read ?
Any advances on damnation ?

"I care not if you bridge the sea,
Or ride secure the cruel sky,
Or build consummate palaces,
Of metal or of masonry;
But have you wine and music still,
And statues, and a bright-eyed love,
And foolish thoughts of good and ill,
And prayers to them who sit above ?"
James Elroy Flecker: "To a poet a thousand years hence." (1915)
