Wikipedia

  1. ultramontane

    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.

ChatGPT

  1. ultramontane

    Ultramontane refers to a viewpoint or belief emphasizing the authority and autonomy of the Pope in the Roman Catholic Church in relation to secular authorities or opposing factions within the Church itself. It stems from Latin roots meaning 'beyond the mountains', referring to countries or believers beyond the Alps, which in historical context, commonly meant people from Northern Europe looking towards the Vatican in Italy. The term can also be used more broadly to describe a tendency to look towards or be influenced by foreign or external entities.
