It's an interesting question. My main reply would be I need a bit more info. Such a dilemma would never really occur in my view, and I'm quite happy to refute any practical example you give me. Though I can certainly see how a few deluded fools might think such a dilemma was in front of them, they would be tragically mistaken however.
There is actually a whole novel by that most agnostic of Catholic authors, by Graham Greene, that follows this dilemma. The Heart of the Matter follows a man's belief that he is committing the ultimate sacrifice by damning himself to ensure the happiness and salvation of others. Worth checking out if you're interested...
