Conclavist
From Free net encyclopedia
The conclavist movement is a movement of sedevacantists who have left the Roman Catholic Church. Conclavists argue that new Popes should and can be elected outside of the existing structure of the Roman Catholic Church by 'conclaves' of 'faithful' catholics.
Conclavist movements have elected the following Antipopes:
- David Bawden (Michael), self-proclaimed in 1990 in Kansas, United States of America
- Victor von Pentz (Linus II), self-proclaimed in 1994 in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
- Lucian Pulvermacher (Pius XIII), self-proclaimed in 1998 in Montana, United States of America, Pope of the self-proclaimed "true Catholic Church"
