To correct my previous post on the amount of ANTI-POPES in Catholicism;
My memory served me that in high school I learned there were 3 anti-popes. Was I wrong? Yes.
I found several articles on antipopes, some of which included John Paul II as an anti-pope. All the articles had different numbers of posts. I chose the list I found at Catholic Encyclopedia:Lists of Popers.
St. Callistus I (217-22) Callistus and the following three popes were opposed by St. Hippolytus, antipope (217-236)
St. Cornelius (251-53) Opposed by Novatian, antipope (251)
Liberius (352-66) Opposed by Felix II, antipope (355-365)
St. Damasus I (366-83) Opposed by Ursicinus, antipope (366-367)

St. Sergius I (687-701) Opposed by Theodore and Paschal, antipopes (687)
Stephen II (752) Because he died before being consecrated, many authoritative lists omit him

Sergius II (844-47) Opposed by John, antipope (855)

As you can see this is a boat load of anti-popes.
I have counted over 30 anti-popes.
It should open your eyes to see why the Catholic church has been defiled in the past.
People are going to say mean thing about popes whether they are non-Catholic or a satanist. You all do know that there is a Church of Satan, do you not?
