Ultramontane Party — the extreme
party in the church of Rome. Ultramontane opinions or tendencies are those
which favour the high "Catholic" party. Ultramontane means Italy or
the old Papal States. The term was first used by the French, to distinguish
those who look upon the pope as the fountain of all power in the Church, in
contradiction to the Gallican school, which maintained the right of
self-government by national churches. [BD]
