From Vatican News:

In his homily at Mass on Tuesday, Pope Francis says that Jesus does not tolerate hypocrisy. “We must be cured of hypocrisy,” he said, “and the medicine is knowing how to point the finger at ourselves before God,” since whoever is unable to do so is “not a good Christian.”

In the Gospel reading, Jesus is invited to lunch by a Pharisee and is highly criticized by the master of the house because he does not perform ritual ablution before sitting at the table to eat. Pope Francis explains that this behavior is not tolerated and is hypocritical because the Pharisees invited Jesus to lunch “to judge him, not to befriend him”. This is exactly what hypocrisy is, he says, “appearing one way but acting in another.”
