Show me a Mass where everybody isn't humble, or an uppity Priest. Would you? You want humble go to the Catholic Church.

If we are good Christians then we should be humble.
Humility is the virtue which acknowledges that all we have and all we accomplish is God's work not ours.
The opposite of humility is the sin of pride. Pride in yourself is undue self-esteem or self-love, which seeks attention and honor and sets oneself in competition with God.
Pride in things like your heritage, your nation, and your children are just being thankful for gifts from God. These are not the sin of pride.
With love in Christ.
