Joseph Ben Caiaphas, simply known as Caiaphas in the New Testament, was the Jewish high priest who,according to the Matthew 26 gospel, organized a plot to kill Jesus. He famously presided over the sanhedrin trial of Jesus.
Many today who claim to be Christians are in danger of rending their garments, making an outward show of repentance, when their hearts are not softened nor subdued. This is why so many continue to make failures in the Christian life. An outward appearance of sorrow is shown for wrong, but their repentance is not that which needs not to be repented of. CC 323.6
