The Proud

 

I was scrolling on Facebook a few days ago (Today is 3/27/26.) when I came across a meme from whom I believed was popular, televised, respected Catholic Bishop and intellectual, Bishop Robert Barron.


Barron was telling his anonymous audience that the most grievous sin against God was the sin of pride. I have got into this in great detail elsewhere, which I will not reiterate here, but I wish to quip that the greatest sin against God is humility: For it is the masochistic, humble, nonindividuating, selfless agent of low-esteem, once his group-living mode of existing inflames in him a sense of entitlement, exceptionalism and ardent devotion, nested either in his tribalism or ideological cause, who is prideful on steroids, the kind of pride that scoffs at and denies God’s sovereignty over humans.
