 Antipope - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
These antipopes were usually in opposition to a specific person chosen by the papal electors (since the Middle Ages, the college of cardinals).
Some of these antipopes have developed their own religious infrastructure in recognition that the conventional popes are not likely to consider ceding authority to them, thus being at once antipopes of the Universal Church and popes of their particular sect.
Sedevacantist antipopes frequently refer to the conventional successors of Pope Pius XII - Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II and Benedict XVI - as a series of antipapacies.

Note that I have included the two popes that Mike insists on including in the list: Innocent III the antipope who reigned from 1179-1180, and Benedict XIV the counter-antipope (or as history came to know him: the 'hidden pope') of 1425-?.
after his election as pope, the would be Benedict XIV retreated into hiding, and no one knew of his whereabouts, except *the* one who elected him, 4.

It was a denial that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, a public action to indicate that he holds that the Old Covenant is still in force, and a mockery of God’s clear sign that the Jews must abandon the destroyed Temple and enter the Catholic Church.
Antipope John Paul II and his Bishops have repeatedly repudiated the dogma that the Old Covenant has ceased, which makes them heretics, for this dogma has been taught by the Catholic Church for 2000 years, was defined infallibly by the Council of Florence, and was affirmed clearly by Pope Benedict XIV.

 Real Catholics Follow Peter To Pius XII - Anti-Pope Harlot John Paul II
Therefore, since Antipope John Paul II has pretended to declare from the Chair of Peter that his Catechism is a sure norm for teaching the faith when it is not, when know that he does not sit in the Chair of Peter.
Antipope John Paul II has also “canonized” people who fully embraced the heresies of Vatican II, the New Mass and who were religious indifferentists, which is impossible for a true Pope to do, since canonizations by real Popes are infallible.
The truth, on the other hand, is that Antipope John Paul II is not a true successor of Peter; but rather, he is another one of the more than 40 Antipopes which the Church has had to deal with in her long history.
