A rival claimant to the papacy who might be elected, appointed, installed, or even proclaim himself to be the legitimate pontiff; such an individual is said by the Church to have assumed the title of pope illegally or in opposition to the legitimate pope.
The antipope was a fairly common occurrence during the Middle Ages, and most were often pathetic Churchmen who were propped up by powerful rulers, such as a Holy Roman Emperor, during a feud with the Holy See over various issues.
Some antipopes were also present in the early Church, when competing parties in Rome offer their own candidate for the papacy.

 The Great Apostasy, not the Great Façade:
The Great Façade doesn’t label this defection from the faith by Antipope John Paul II and his bishops as apostasy or even as heresy, even though their book provides overwhelming proof that neither Antipope John Paul II nor his bishops are remotely Catholic, but are total apostates from the faith.
This heresy is reiterated in Antipope John Paul II’s New Catechism, a catechism which Antipope John Paul II promulgated by his “apostolic authority,” which is to say that if Antipope John Paul II were the valid Pope, his new Catechism (and the following heresy on the Old Covenant) were promulgated from the Chair of Peter.
Cyril and Methodius (#27), Antipope John Paul II again indicated that Eastern Schismatics should not be converted to the Catholic Church.
