"The Vatican Council issued numerous written attacks upon Ultramontanism." - This doesn't make any sense given the sentences following it. The Vatican Council was opposed to Catholics adhering to Rome? Kd5mdk 10:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of Clarity

Someone please restructure /edit this page: it has no headings, is full of technical jargon, and leaves the reader (from the very opening) unclear as to what exactly 'Ultramontanism' means.Iamlondon 11:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paleoconservatives = Ultramontanists?

If the "Paleoconservatives" in the U.S. are considered Ultramontanists then this definition requires a great deal more explication. Ultramontanism asserts Papal supremacy over the secular state, if this is so then how do Paleoconservatives fit in? Does the writer mean to say that Paleos are religious conservatives and would have religion dictate public policy? If so, then this needs elaboration. It's my understanding that most Paleos are of Evangelical Protestant orientation and the papalist analogy seems tenuous. LAWinans (talk) 05:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
