Final Chapter Reflection/Response

The final chapter in A Prayer For Owen Meany was full of surprises. John finally figures out who his biological father is which is Rev.Miller. In this chapter Rev.Miller talk about how he feels guilty for Johns mother death. He states that at the scene of the death minutes before it had happened he had prayed to god that he wished Tabitha would just drop dead. Rev.Miller talks about how he had a hatred towards Tabitha because she was the one who decided to cut of their " Fling" although he wanted to stay with her and leave his wife and children. At that part of the story I felt that Rev.Miller should be ashamed of himself. How does a priest want to leave his wife and children to be with another women? Is that just a sin? This is a little similar to Owens reason for killing Tabitha, both Rev.Miller and Owen believe that they were gods instrument.
