“The whole problem with this Hollande scandal is that he is not married. Â Had he been married, this affair would never have been revealed. Â
In France, having a mistress is not considered cheating. Â We are not a puritanical country. Â France is Catholic. Â We accept sin and forgiveness.”
-French novelist, Jean-Marie Rouart, as quoted in a New York Times Op-Ed article dated February 15, 2014, concerning a scandal involving French President Francois Hollande and a purported mistress.
