Well the Catholic church have been teaching that pride is the most deadly (and original) of sins for many years so no news there really.

The hard part is always the conclusion: "as we seek, in fellowship with others, to abandon our control-based mentality"

This assumes it is ever possible for me to accept that "truth" is probably somewhere in between me and others (or God if you would prefer something more absolute). Unfortunately we know from history that peace is impossible because the world is full of people with completely different motivations and ideals. Some of these have a middle ground but many don't.
