Reply to comment by InflatableLabboons in Wife elopes with another man, husband marries her lover's wife as revenge by wewhomustnotbenamed

Just looked up pious because my definition was exact opposite of yours and here I am learning that you can use it sarcastically to mean the opposite (in a sense)

No. in context it means a holier than thou religious narcissist. Someone who espouses their own righteousness, forgives their own transgressions but hates those that don't make them feel like their faith is special. It's not a matter of sarcasm, it's just the fact that faith is a form of narcissism and so those most addicted to it are as hypocritical as you'd expect.

I couldn't encapsulate her better than that... Especially having espoused the sanctity of marriage a year previously.
