Catholic AnswerOnly insofar as they are both virtues. Humility, however, is the bedrock of virtue, you can't get *anywhere* without humility, furthermore, you cannot be saved without humility. God opposes the proud, He will give nothing to those without humility. Obedience without humility is worthless. The Catechism speaks of humility, especially in relation to prayer. Our Blessed Lord speaks of the humble as the "poor in spirit" for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, guess which kingdom that leaves for the proud? The original sin of Lucifer was pride, and it is the root of all sins. So, without humility, we cannot be saved, without humility, we cannot pray. The Catechism covers humility in paragraphs 2546, 2559, 2631, and in 2713 it speaks of contemplative prayer, which is a gift form God to those who are humble. An excellent book on the topic of humility is Humility of Heart, see the link below.

What is humility?

Humility is obedience to God above everything else. It means having a motive to please God instead of impressing people. Maybe the closest meaning to 'Humility' is to have a 'servant's mentality' or 'know your place'. It could also be used to decrease 'Pride', knowing that when the time is right God will raise you to glory. Jesus was born in humility and not in glory because everyone expected a king to be born in glory.Jesus may have indicated to have come to 'serve' not to be 'served'.
