Someone who is sanctimonious believes they are morally better than others and is quite vocal about it. That person can also be quite hypocritical and may not practise what they preach. - "Stop preaching that holier-than-thou rubbish you sanctimonious fool". - "He was so self-righteous, acting all sanctimonious about how kids behave these days, but he was terrible when he was young". Edited to change mortally to morally.
