What did the prayer on the Rameumpton illustrate about the Zoramites?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Pride is the great sin of self-elevation. It is for so many a personal Rameumptom, a holy stand that justifies envy, greed, and vanity. [See Alma 31:21.] In a sense, pride is the original sin, for before the foundations of this earth, pride felled Lucifer, a son of the morning ‘who was in authority in the presence of God.’ [D&C 76:25.] If pride can corrupt one as capable and promising as this, should we not examine our own souls as well?” (Uchtdorf, “Pride and the Priesthood,” 56).
