Summary

This episode is a reading of An Impeachment of the False, a sermon preached by Father Arthur Stanton on Matthew 5:20:

“Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Preached in the late nineteenth century and published in Faithful Stewardship and Other Sermons, this address is not an attack on ritual but a warning against formalism. Stanton confronts mechanical religion, hairsplitting morality, and ceremony without heart — while defending the Mass, incense, and lights as expressions of living faith.

Christ’s words are treated as an indictment of religious complacency. Not of outsiders. Of insiders.

A searching sermon on what it means for righteousness to exceed.
