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.

pharisytical

the adjective form of the noun "pharisee", meaning "hypocrite". So, basically it means hypocritical. Although, this way it kind of sounds like "pharmaceutical", which is like a pharmacist. Now that's pretty funny.
Man, don't be such a pharisytical pharisee, i mean come on man. If I wanted to see or react with more Pharisees and hypocrites, I would read the Bible.

Pharisaic 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. This is most common with those who claim to be part of the Christian faith, but just use it as an excuse to be mean, hateful, and judgemental. The best treatment for a personality like this is understanding, empathy and most importantly, prayer.
The corrupt pastor of that church has a bad case of pharisaic personality syndrome.
