Hypocrisy sucks the life out of the church; it eats away at its authority and it is a huge stumbling block to its children. And thus few things like hypocrisy can cause our Lord and Savior to raise the alarm to His disciples.

"the lost enjoy forever the horrible freedom they have demanded, and are therefore self-enslaved." C.S.
