Pharisaical Personality Syndrome

A toxic personality style characterized by excessive pride in one's own virtue, a lack of empathy for the moral struggles of others, self-righteousness, hypocrisy, and a holier-than-thou attitude. People with this often make a show of being good rather than actually being good.
Corrupt church officials such as crooked pastors, elders, and deacons are the first people that come to mind when thinking of pharisaical personality syndrome.

Communal narcissists also exhibit this if they are in the church or claim to be Christian when they aren't.
