Pride is a repulsive sin before God.
St. Thomas More speaks of pride as the head and root of all vices, and St. Thomas Aquinas “considers it the queen of all vices, and puts vainglory in its place as one of the deadly sins” CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pride (newadvent.org)
Sermon by St Anthony of Padua:
He who uses the name of God without its meaning, instead of respecting the meaning of the name, takes it in vain. And so they enter the sea, which is the bitterness of sin, in order to pass from this to the bitterness of torment. God made the firmament of Baptism in the midst of the waters, to divide the waters from the waters; but these sinners, as Isaiah says,
have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore shall a curse devour the earth; and the inhabitants thereof shall sin,
and therefore they that dwell therein shall grow mad. (Is 25,5-6)
The written law and the law of grace are transgressed, because they are not willing to keep the written law like slaves, or the law of grace like sons. They alter the natural law, which is: "Whatever you do not want done to you, do not do to others." They break the everlasting covenant which they made in Baptism. Therefore the curse of pride shall devour the earth (that is, earthly folk), and those who dwell in it shall sin with the sin of avarice, those to whom is said in the Apocalypse, Woe to you who dwell upon the earth;
and those who cultivate it shall grow mad with the sin of lust, which is weakness and derangement of mind.

“Men will surrender to the spirit of the age. They will say that if they had lived in our day, faith would be simple and easy. But in their day, they will say, things are complex; the Church must be brought up to date and made meaningful to the day’s problems.” Saint Anthony of the Desert

“Los hombres se rendirán al espíritu de la época. Dirán que si hubieran vivido en nuestros días, la fe sería sencilla y fácil. Pero en su día, dirán, las cosas son complejas; la Iglesia debe actualizarse y hacerse significativa para los problemas del día. San Antonio de Egipto

Santo Tomás Moro habla del orgullo como cabeza y raíz de todos los vicios, y Santo Tomás de Aquino considera el pecado de (orgullo) soberbia “ la reina de todos los vicios, y pone en su lugar a la vanagloria como uno de los pecados capitales”
