It's not entirely hypocrisy. It's more infidelity.

Hypocrisy is pretending to a virtue you neither possess nor aspire to. These men are not pretending to virtue: they are not claiming they are chaste, for instance. They are saying chastity is bunk.

The priests you reference are anti-Catholics within the Catholic church.

The whole world would be better off if the Catholics were Catholic, and the others would leave.

No. It is hypocrisy.

No. Those priests are Roman Catholic priests. Ya'll don't get to pick and choose who is or is not legit.

The whole world would be better off if the Catholics were Catholic, and the others would leave.

The whole world would be better off if people were followers of Christ...and only Christ.

By your very own definition, it’s hypocrisy.

The Catholic church pretends to be something it isn’t.

It puts on a good show in words and more than falls short in action.

Nobody cares so much about what people say.

But they sure do care a lot about what people DO.
