In Illo Tempore: 16th Sunday after Pentecost

In brief

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf discussed the spiritual dangers of pride in a reflection for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost.

Zuhlsdorf noted that pride caused the fall of Satan and the apostate angels, as well as the fall of the human race through the first parents. He cited St. Bernard of Clairvaux, who described pride as the beginning of every sin.
