Many christian leaders were upset when Pat Robertson told a viewer who was struggling to forgive her cheating husband – to get over it – because men can't help but cheat and it was probably her fault anyway.
"He cheated on you, well he's a man, okay, so what you do is begin to focus on why you married him in the first place." Robertson added, "... recognize males have a tendency to wander a little bit, and what you want to do is make the home so wonderful he doesn't want to wander."
The Christian Broadcasting Network which Robertson founded says it was all a misunderstanding.
"His point was that everyone is human and there is much temptation outside of the home, so she should do whatever she can to strengthen their home and relationship... His intent was not to condone infidelity or to cast blame.
But when you listen to what Robertson's said in the past about men straying and General Petraeus, does that statement really add up?

Francis turned away the official Vatican limo for a more basic car - a Volkswagen He's staying in a guest house instead of moving into the grand papal apartment.
He chose a ring made of silver that was coated in gold – rather than a ring made of gold.
And Francis went to a juvenile detention center in Rome Thursday, where he washed the feet of a dozen young inmates both men and women.
Previous popes usually just washed the feet of priests, who you know can only be men, as a way to re-enact Jesus dressing up as a servant to wash the feet of his disciples.
