What a great weekend... Not only did I get the chance to go home for the weekend, but the U.S. beat the Euros at Valhalla. And I had a front-row seat for it, since I was marshalling the eighth hole with the guys from Persimmon Ridge. High-fived Mickelson (who promptly went on to lose a four-up lead... my fault?), heckled Nick Faldo, contemplated clothes-lining Sergio. All-in-all a great weekend. Met up with the guys (and gal... Jacque) at BBC for some APA and hot wings. "Separation makes the heart grow fonder," they say... (at least for the beer and wings...!)
Ultramontanism is a religious philosophy within the Catholic Church that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the pope. In particular, ultramontanism asserts the superiority of Papal authority over the authority of local temporal power.
The term originates in ecclesiastical language from the Middle Ages and means literally "beyond the mountains" (referring to the Alps).
The word was revived after the Protestant Reformation in France. In France, the name "ultramontain" was applied to people who supported papal authority in French political affairs. "The man beyond the mountains" referred to the pope, located in Italy.
Those of an Ultramontanist philosophy take comfort in the retention of doctrinal and disciplinary supremacy by the Roman Pontiff and the Roman Curia which serves and represents him.
