There Is A Difference Between Hypocrisy and A Moral Failing ( Samuel Johnson Quote )

At the top of my pet peeves list is how people to easily throw out the word hypocrite. In a Christian context it seems in most cases the words is used to label people in ways I am not sure Christ intended.

Get Religion has a great quote from Samuel Johnson in this piece Hypocrisy, grace and a fallen cardinal that notes there is a critical difference between hypocrisy and  a moral failing.
