What does the last sentence suggest about Father Paul’s attitude and motivation?

He is inspired by Leon’s interest in holy water and is willing to go to the burial.

He has given up on a Christian burial but wants to observe a traditional Pueblo burial.

He sees compromise as the only way to perform the Catholic burial.

He has decided to adopt the practices of the Pueblo to make them trust him.
