And then not only does he decide not to be a priest because of her, but he completely abandons any of his beliefs about sex before marriage (hard to believe a Catholic priest would believe otherwise) and sleeps with her just like that. I'm assuming it was unprotected, Paige had just come out of the river and why would he carry anything around with him, so it's immensely stupid.
It was obvious he was going to give up priesthood but I would have liked him to keep his faith, it could have been a good story line, Paige apparently loves him so much but could she deal with a religious fellow? No sex? Marriage talks even after her failure with Mark? But no, straight away sleeping together...”
Has he actually confirmed that he'll be giving up the Priesthood? Obviously it was implied and he should leave having broken his vows, but he could still pull a 'Thorn Birds' and declare it a one off abberation.
I completely agree that Jack is just as bad as Paige re humping into bed with her and he has certainly crossed into hanging around her too much over the past couple of weeks, but I still think she's been the worst one overall, simply because she did keep after him, both when he was amnesiac and was saying he couldn't start anything whilst he didn't know who he was and after he remembered he was a Priest and told her that although he loved her, he couldn't be with her. I'll never forget her declaring 'war' on God and dressing out specifically to try and tempt him.
I agree about what could have been an interesting story about how the relationship progressed and how Paige would feel about ut. Liklihood is that even if he did leave the Priesthood, he wouldn't leave the Faith completely so sex before marriage, contraception would all be issues they'd have to deal with. He's probably want to keep helping people in a pastoral capacity - would Paige be happy with that kind of drain on his spare time? I doubt it somehow
But no, straight into the sack.
