note: this term was first applied, somewhat contemptuously,
by the italians, to the nations north of the alps,
especially the germans and french, their painters,
jurists, etc. at a later period, the french and germans
applied it to the italians. it is now more particularly
used in respect to religious matters; and ultramontane
doctrines, when spoken of north of the alps, denote the
extreme views of the pope's rights and supremacy
maintained by bellarmin and other italian writers.
