Editing Ultramontanism (section)

==Position of other traditional churches==
Ultramontanism is distinct from the positions adopted by the other traditional churches, particularly the [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] communion, [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]] communion, the [[Oriental Orthodoxy|Oriental Orthodox]] communion, the [[Old Catholic Church]], or the [[Church of the East]]. These churches regard the pope as having been ''[[Primus inter pares#Eastern Orthodox Church|primus inter pares]]'' when the churches were united in full communion, and generally still acknowledge that status today, albeit in an impaired form due to disunity; similarly they do not recognize the doctrines of infallibility or the pope's alleged universal jurisdiction over patriarchates and autocephalous churches other than that of Rome itself, except insofar as this is part of the concept of ''primus inter pares''.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.anglicancatholic.org/anglicanism-and-papacy |title = Anglicanism and the Papacy |publisher = Anglican Catholic |access-date = 9 June 2018 |archive-date = 12 June 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140814/http://www.anglicancatholic.org/anglicanism-and-papacy |url-status = dead }}</ref>

In the joint agreed statement "The Gift of Authority" (1999) the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion were agreed on the collegial nature of the life and work of bishops.<ref name=Gift>{{cite web |url = http://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/316089/looking-towards-a-church-fully-reconciled-arcic-ii.pdf |title = Looking towards a Church fully reconciled |publisher = SPCK (2016) |access-date = 16 June 2018 }}</ref>{{rp|148}} Similarly both churches acknowledged the role of episcopal [[Primate (bishop)|primacy]] within the college of bishops.<ref name= Gift/>{{rp|151}} On the question of the universal primacy of the Pope, the joint report found common ground, and stated that a "particular conclusion" of their discussions had been "that Anglicans be open to and desire a recovery and re-reception under certain clear conditions of the exercise of universal primacy by the Bishop of Rome";<ref name= Gift/>{{rp|159}} nonetheless a clear distinction remained between the Anglican view of a universal primacy exercised within a universal collegiality, and the Catholic view of a universal primacy with actual universal jurisdiction.
