Public Virtue, Private Vice.

It’s a public morality, a public religious ceremony. Sacrifices - borne by others- are offered to propitiate the gods of peace, or nature.

The suffering are the slaughtered animals, the Virtuous raise their entrails to the sky.

…then by their very lives and example incarnate the vices they denounce. Some of that rubbing their superiority in the face of the peasants.
