The Pardoner's Prologue & Tale

The Pardoner's tale comes off as very religious. What caught my attention was when he said "Radix malorum est Cupiditas" (greed is the root of all evil) quoting the scripture 1 Timothy 6:10. He is a hypocrite because he admits to preaching for money. In todays time greed has become a big problem and many people think its the most important thing to have. This made me think of the saying "practice what you preach" and it shows that the Pardoner isn't doing that at all. I also wonder how many people are like this is the world today, especially pastors or ministers.
