[JockoManning]

Evidently sanctimonious in your dictionary doesn't mean what it does in mine. Hypocritical, inauthentic is a core part of its meaning.

So, either you genuinely meant the word you used and are now trying to deny the core meaning of that word or I don't understand the game you are playing.

[philman_36]

Hypocritical, inauthentic is a core part of its meaning.
Partly. Here is another definition...making a show of being morally superior to other people.
But you're right. Condescending (having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority.) might be what I should have used.
