Dear Doc
My understanding ('did' Chaucer years ago in college and may have forgotten), is that the Pardoner was guilty of hypocrisy, in the main. His tale, which illustrated the treachery associated with greed, was topped and tailed by him with all sorts of sententious claptrap, when he was actually making money hand over fist selling pardons. Chaucer was an acute observer of character (as is frequently said), and some of his remarks definitely raise a rueful chuckle of recognition.
