Presumption
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
As a capital vice, the desire to undertake what is above one's capacity. It is a consequence of pride which makes one overestimate one's abilities and blinds one to one's deficiencies. It leads one to expect graces and favors without doing anything to obtain them, and even when acting so as to deserve the contrary, as when one does evil presuming that forgiveness is assured.
