Doble Estandard (in Spanglish but "Double Standard" in English)

So before coming down here, I read that Chile was a very religious country, (over 80% Catholic). Today, I learned that there is a double standard because harldly anyone goes to church, but everyone claims they are Catholic. Furthermore, half the people marraiges are having affairs in a country where divorce is illegal. The way they get around this one is by saying that something was wrong with their wedding, therefore making their marraige illegitimate and allowing them to seperate.

That´s a little different, isn´t it? But what did I expect by coming to a different country... everything to be the same?
