A Proud WACKO?
Durante di Alighiero Alighieri, often called Dante, was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His Divine Comedy called Comedìa, initially and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the most significant literary work in the Italian language; said pride was the most damnable of the deadly sins. Other religious and spiritual thinkers felt similarly. For example, Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman, North Africa. His writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Christianity. He is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period, and Clive Staples Lewis, FBA, was a British writer and Anglican lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at Oxford and Cambridge Universities; He taught that pride was the root of all other sins and moral failures.
