it pisses me off how Dane dies, and then how Ralph dies. I mean, COME ON!! Give Meggie a damn break!!

I cried during this scene.

His ambition trumped both God and love.

its heartbreaking.what makes me sick is the fact, that the catholic church does not allow their priests to marry. jesus never told his apostels not to marry. he himself had women. that catholic church`s custom, the so called zölibat, is against human nature.

@loyalfalconflutist life doesn't always give many breaks... often many heartbreaks... but this scene may have ummm.... jumped the shark..

@mtr2whls I noticed that too. :) I don't understand why he thought his love for meggie was keeping him away from God... I mean to love her and be as husband and wife is worshiping God too....sigh just breaks your heart to see love so beautiful be so hard

Why did they have to kill Dane? Meggie had suffered all her life and yet happiness always eludes her. Poor lady. The ending is so heart wrenching. Their unconditional love for one another is so strong and pure. Love doesn't get any better than that.
