In the documentary 'Tintin et Moi', the topic is discussed - a number of priests presented their objections to Hergé and Casterman, about the suicide being portrayed in a positive light.
In regard to Hergé's gradual loss of faith, it could be seen that in 'Tintin in Tibet' (the most personal of all the albums), he presents a wholly sympathetic view of the Tibetan Buddhist monks, to an extent unseen of his own supposed faith.
In regard to 'Tintin in Tibet', I agree that the quest that Tintin and Haddock undertake is far closer to Buddhism than Christianity.

At the same time, though, considering the fact that the later Tintin was a collaborative effort and not exclusively Herge's creation and, therefore, markedly differentiated from the original (esp. pre-war) Tintin, and also originally titled "The New Adventures of Tintin", that should give the collaborators a stake in the project.
Tintin was envisioned as a travelling correspondent for the newspaper's cartoon supplement, Le Petit Vingtieme (the little 20th) and Herge's cartoon strip portrayed Tintin travelling around the world and having all sorts of kooky adventures, which involved a combination of slapstick, situation comedy and social satire and commentary.
The false and scandalous publication of "Tintin and Alph' Art", the edition of "Tintin Reporter" of an unforgivable mediocrity, the sumptuary and flashy expenses, the formation of societies, are only rupee of starling from the point of view of Alain Baran's negotiations with the Ampere group.

After the publication of the third Tintin story, 'Tintin in America', in which our hero takes on gangsters, and witnesses American Indians being driven from their land, each Tintin story was published as an 'album' after it had finished its run in the newspaper.

However, this turns out not to be the case, and when Tintin does arrive on the scene you know that Herg is providing a standard adventure for his hero and his friends, and not something special, even if the final panel does make a point about the plight of Third World countries.
But while "Tintin and the Picaros" is an average adventure at best, there can be no doubt that taken together these 21 stories (23 if you count the two earlier "flawed" adventures) are a major accomplishment in the field of comic books.

I had always figured this emotional reaction was due to the fact that Tintin and the Picaros is the last of the wonderful series.
However, after reading the excellent book Tintin and the World of Herge by Benoit Peeters, I understood that the great Herge himself was reaching the end of his rope.
The most glaring example of this reflection is Tintin's unwillingness to be a part of the adventure.
