My thoughts are probably consistent with yours.
The first reading (2 Thes 2) seems to be saying that we must judge what we hear from people who claim to be speaking in the name of the Lord in the context of what we have previously been taught by the law and tradition. We must watch out for people preaching falsehoods.
The second reading (Mt 23) condemns people who follow just part of the law. Without getting too political, it is like those politicians who get reelected by being anti-abortion, while ignoring “judgment and mercy and fidelity”. Jesus said we need to be clean on the inside as well as the outside. That is definitely a lesson for us all.
