Denethor was overcome with grief at the death of his son Boromir; frightened and jealous at the thought of the Kings of Gondor being restored to power (keep in mind that his family line had been de facto ruling Gondor since Isildur's death), and also scared green by the prospect of Mordor invading with all her vaunted might. He never had all that great a love for Gandalf, who he felt threatened by. Not to mention the fact that his son had the Ring in his hands and allowed it to go free, when in his mind it could have been used to save Gondor, and last but not least, Faramir did retreat from Osgiliath, which was a crucial first line of defense. He was certainly not thinking clearly, as his descent into madness thereafter confirms.

He loved Boromir(the brother of the one that was sent on a suicide mission) more than he loved Faramir(the one he sent on a suicide mission) and wished it had been Faramir that had been killed instead of Boromir. He was also crazy, depressed, distraught, and he was losing all of his power.

To add a religious element to it.. like God... giving humans Jesus to crucify
Actually, because he hoped that he would die. Boromir was his favorite.. and the only son that he loved.. with him dead.. the only person left too look at was Faramir.. and he didn't want him anymore.
