The centuries that followed the Reformation, whether consequentially or coincidentally, saw an end to serious contenders to the Papacy. The era of the antipope appeared to be at an end.
Since antipope Felix V, challengers have dwindled to the point of extinction. However, I recently learned that a short drive away from my apartment in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, “Peter III” (Swiss-born Joseph Odermatt) reigns over the Palmarian Christian Church. His story is as sinister as any of his brother antipopes.
