Gallicanism
Gallicanism is the belief that monarchs' authority over the Roman Catholic Church is comparable to that of the Pope's. Gallicanism is intermediate between Ultramontanism and Anglicanism, in that it downplays the authority of the Pope without denying it entirely. Other terms for the same or similar doctrines include Erastianism, Febronianism and Josephism.

The doctrine originated in France (the term derives from "Gaul"). In the 18th century it spread to the Low Countries as well.
