Some, such as the former [[Pope Benedict XVI|Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger]], have claimed the [[Catholic social teaching]] of [[subsidiarity (Catholicism)|subsidiarity]] can overrun ultramontanism and has the potential to decentralize the Catholic Church,<ref>John L. Allen, ''Pope Benedict XVI: A Biography of Joseph Ratzinger'' (London: A&C Black, 2001), 308-309. {{ISBN|0826413617}}, 9780826413611</ref> whereas others defend it as merely a bureaucratic adjustment to give more pastoral responsibility to local bishops and priests of local parishes.<ref>See e.g. Vinzenz Gasser, trans. James Thomas O'Connor, ''The Gift of Infallibility: The Official Relatio on Infallibility of Bishop Vincent Ferrer Gasser at Vatican Council I'' (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1986/2008).

Challenges to ultramontanism have remained strong within and outside Roman jurisdiction.<ref>e.g. Derek Hastings, ''Catholicism and the Roots of Nazism: Religious Identity and National Socialism'' ([[Oxford University Press]], 2009), 17-22. {{ISBN|0199741417}}, 9780199741410</ref> Ultramontanism has particularly overshadowed ecumenical work between the Catholic Church and both [[Lutherans]] and [[Anglicans]].<ref>Russel T. Murray, ''Anglicans and Catholics in Dialogue on the Papacy: A Gift for All Christians'' (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 2017). {{ISBN|0809149605}}, 9780809149605</ref> The joint [[Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue|Anglican-Roman Catholic International Consultation]] published ''The Gift of Authority'' in 1999, highlights agreements and differences on these issues.<ref>Anglican/Roman Catholic International Commission, ''The Gift of Authority: Authority in the Church III'' (Toronto: Anglican Book Centre, 1998). {{ISBN|1551262460}}, 9781551262468</ref>
