Faith not relevant in remarks about unfaithful partners

Re: Sept 3 comment on survey on the Unfaithfulness of Thai men and women.

 

I fail to see how Buddhism has anything to do with married people being unfaithful or not. It’s like asking, “How can we call ourselves Catholic when our priests molest children?” In the case of priests, the behaviour might arise simply because they are in a situation where they can molest children.
Similarly, Thai infidelity may exist because the men are abusive and the women vindictive.
