Question 162 — Pride

We must next consider pride, and (1) pride in general; (2) the first man’s sin, which we hold to have been pride. Under the first head there are eight points of inquiry:

(1) Whether pride is a sin?

• (2) Whether it is a special vice?
• (3) Wherein does it reside as in its subject?
• (4) Of its species;
• (5) Whether it is a mortal sin?
• (6) Whether it is the most grievous of all sins?
• (7) Of its relation to other sins;
• (8) Whether it should be reckoned a capital vice?
