    Ultramontanism is a clerical political conception within the Catholic Church that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the Pope. It contrasts with Gallicanism, the belief that popular civil authority—often represented by the monarch's or state's authority—over the Church is comparable to that of the Pope.

  1. ultramontanism

    Ultramontanism is a religious doctrine and political ideology within the Roman Catholic Church that emphasizes the central role and supreme authority of the Pope over local temporal and spiritual authorities. The term is derived from the Latin words "ultra" and "montes," meaning "beyond the mountains," referring to the location of the Vatican in Rome, south of the Alps from the perspective of France and Germany. Ultramontanism opposes other Catholic doctrines such as Gallicanism and Conciliarism, which advocate for greater autonomy of individual churches or regions and more power to ecclesiastical councils.
