Patron hypocrite
I’m just so grateful that so many of you trust what we’re doing here and you want to partner with us to do that. And so very big thanks to you all and as a special thank you, I want to do a patron only Q&A today. So if you want to take part in future Q&As, like this one, other private special events that we host at our conference every year actually in California at Catholic Answers in September. Last year we had a patron only lunch and talk, and that was really fun. I love meeting people and if you’re a patron and you come to the conference, you can be a part of that too. You can also get access to our Catechism studies series, New Testament studies series, all that and more at trenthornpodcast.com. So I ask our patrons every few months or so to submit questions, anything they want.
The spirit of hypocrisy
That the sacraments transmit God’s grace to us regardless of the status of the transmitter is essential: it reminds us that ours is the Church of Christ and not a church of men. But at the same time, there is still disappointment on a human level. We do not just want to know that our sins have been forgiven or that we have received God’s grace, even though knowing should be all the confidence we need; we want to feel God’s love too.
Abrams should know better than to mount too vigorous a defense of Thomas Jefferson. Our third president was the patron saint of hypocrites, our American Hypocrite in Chief. While he talked a good game—“were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter”—he had as mixed a record on press freedom as Adams.
This is the difference between the two sons in our Lord’s parable. (Mt 21:28-32) While both sons do wrong, the first son is capable of repentance and the second is not. The first sins in his defiance; the second has grown comfortable in his duplicity. The first is simply a sinner; the second a hypocrite.
Distinguishing real hypocrisy
Fortunately, St. Thomas Aquinas has practical advice for distinguishing real hypocrisy—and prescribing a cure for it. Aquinas used Christ’s warning to “beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matt. 7:15) to caution against hypocrisy, since “hypocrisy is the hiding place of false prophets.” (All Aquinas quotes herein are taken from a collatio (Latin, “conference”; a reflection, really, that he gave after a Mass he offered in 1271; found online at isidore.co/aquinas/Serm14Attendite.htm).

Then Jesus speaking to the crowds and to his disciples, said: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees now occupy the chair of Moses. 3 Therefore practice and lay to heart everything that they preach but do not copy their works, for they do not follow what they preach. 4 While they make up heavy loads and pile them on other men’s shoulder’s they decline, themselves, to lift a finger to move them. 5 All their actions are done to attract attention. They widen their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and like to have the place of honor at dinner, and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and to be greeted in the markets with respect, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by everybody.”

No word on his religious beliefs, but Reevesis has a patron saint for his views: Our patron saint in this effort could be Nathanael. He appears in the Gospel of John and has a good claim to be the patron saint of truthfulness. When told about Jesus, he scoffed: “‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’” But Christ, knowing he had said this, exclaimed: ‘Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!’’ Christ was clearly not applauding Nathanael for the truth of his statement, but for his willingness to speak his mind – for his truthfulness.
