Dychairn himself (in text) has admitted he should have done something originally but instead let himself go with how the CoGA had been doing business for the last 500 years. This is when it changed the core tenant of its own writ in the relationship between Man and God in that the Church would dictate how this was to happen, not Man making his own free-willed choice.
For me Duchairn is just as guilty as Clyntahn for the atrocities committed in the name of God just as much as Clyntahn is. While it would be justice on the one hand for him to kill Clyntahn IMO I would love both of them to face true justice and the truth.

In Safeholdian terms, Duchairn would be a saint because the church (both COGA and COC) enshrine, "Redemption through good works."
So, yes he helped start this whole mess and yes he continues to support it (or at least the war itself, not Clyntahn's purges,) but since his, "conversion," he has consistently tried to lessen the civilian impact of the war.
If he dies then there will be no more, "good works," so unless his death achieves some great purpose (work) he is stuck where he is, making, "Deals with the Devil," so that he can continue his, "Good works."
This is why I hate, "Redemption through good works."
