An antipope is historically a person who has claimed to be the true Roman Catholic Pope in opposition to the officially recognized officeholder. Depending on which list is consulted, there have been as many as 41 antipopes.
Though not usually recognized to be true antipopes, there are currently at least ten men who claim to be the one true Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
