You misunderstand what an Antipope is. It is not "a pope who deceived the Church", it is someone claiming to be a pope while he is not. And that notion is in no way abandoned, there have been a number of antipopes in contemporary history, see Peter II, Gregory XVIII and Peter III of the Palmarian Church as the most notable examples.
- vessenes 2y agoThanks for the additional education. My religious upbringing claimed all popes were antichrists so I have to come at catholic history cautiously at best :) That said do you think the main point stands, that doctrinal debate is a thing that happens out of the public eye in the history of the church? It certainly seems that way to an outsider.
