In traditional Catholic views Pride is actually closer to blasphemy/apostasy than anything else. By taking “pride” in your accomplishments you reject the alternative: thanking God. You’re tacitly saying God wasn’t involved. You pair that up with the idea that all non-Christian religion is rooted in primordial satanic trickery. You get the idea that pride is akin to rejecting God and doing self worship because you aren’t worshipping God and being humble. Satan is everywhere God isn’t. But Satan can only be where God isn’t and being unholy is doing bad so Satan only really exists in bad choices people make and not acknowledging the primacy of God in all things is a bad choice and therefore the sin of pride.
