The Dominicans are preachers and they study scripture. That is in the Bible. There is much in the Bible about pride and humility.
He must increase, but I must decrease.” John CH 3
Catherine of Siena is not in the Bible because she died in 1380 AD.
“no one is obligated to believe that a particular person (someone not referred to in Tradition or Scripture) is a Saint”
Of course, if one believes that there is no such thing as a saint, that would be contrary to the Gospel.
“Now the Saints who are mentioned in Scripture, such as Saint Peter the Apostle, are a separate case. Since their lives and holiness is attested to in infallible Divine Revelation, the Church can teach their holiness and can declare them to be Saints. For unless a Saint is mentioned in Sacred Scripture , such a Saint’s canonization cannot be considered a part of the teachings of the Church. .”
So it is utterly Godless to put Gay + Pride together!
