	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Guibert of Ravenna
		The antipope failed to secure recognition outside of Henry's dominions; he was in fact but a tool in the hands of the latter, and quite devoid of personal initiative.
		The succeeding pope, Urban II (1088-1099), was at one time master of Rome, but he was afterwards driven from the city by the adherents of Guibert, and sought refuge in Lower Italy and in France.
		In June, 1089, at a pseudo-synod held in Rome, the antipope declared invalid the decree of excommunication launched against Henry, and various charges were made against the supporters of the legitimate pope.

		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.

	Catholic Apologetics International
		Rather, Vatican II, because it is infallibly decreed by the reigning pope to be affirming, and not contradicting, all previous Catholic dogmatic teaching, thus, all its teachings must be considered as infallible as all previous dogmatic teachings, regardless of whether Vatican II defined anything infallibly.
		Vatican II, on the other hand, is not concerned with the moral issues of "conscience" and "worship" but with the civil issue of "religious freedom," a term specifically chosen to differentiate civil rights from moral rights.
		Granted, Vatican II is somewhat open and ambiguous in its choice of words, and these words can be easily misunderstood and misinterpreted, not only by modernists to the far left, but also sedevacantists to the far right, and, unfortunately, even by people in the middle of the two extremes.

		The reasons who moved the above mentioned faithfuls to elect a new successor of Peter are known facts, that have taken place in the Church as a consequence of the Second Vatican Council, its "popes", its reforms, its new Canon Law, its new Catechism.
		Then, he loses "penitus et in totum", entirely and totally his position, either formally or materially, and so "he should not be considered anywhere as a legitimate one", because the heretic is "unable and incapacitated" of being a subject of ordinary jurisdiction.

	~ Why JP II [was] & Benedict XVI [is] an Antipope~

	Was Vatican II infallible?
		Antipope Paul VI’s declaration at the beginning and end of every Vatican II document (quoted already) definitely indicates, by “the way it is said,” “in accordance with the rules of theological interpretation” (that is, paralleling past dogmatic decrees), that he is enacting the supreme Magisterium (if he had been a Pope).
		Here Vatican II explicitly indicates that its heretical teaching of religious liberty is rooted in divine revelation and is to be held sacred by Christians.
		The truth, however, is that Antipope Paul VI was never the validly elected Pope of the Catholic Church; and therefore his solemn promulgation of the heresies of Vatican II did not infringe upon Papal Infallibility.
