1. Sedevacantism

   Sedevacantism (Latin: Sedevacantismus) is a doctrinal position within traditionalist Catholicism, which holds that the present occupier of the Holy See is not a valid pope due to the Pope's espousal of one or more heresies and that, for lack of a valid pope, the See of Rome is vacant. The term sedevacantism is derived from the Latin phrase sede vacante, which means "with the chair [i.e. of the Bishop of Rome] being vacant". The phrase is commonly used to refer specifically to a vacancy of the Holy See from the Pope's death or resignation, to the election of his successor. Among sedevacantist, some chose to end the vacancy in the Holy See by electing their own pope; hence, they are more appropriately called conclavists.The number of sedevacantists is unknown and difficult to measure; estimates range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

1. Sedevacantism

   Sedevacantism is the position, held by a minority of Traditionalist Catholics, that the present occupant of the papal see is not truly Pope and that, for lack of a valid Pope, the see has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. A tiny number of these claim the vacancy actually goes back to the death of Pope Pius X in 1914. Sedevacantists believe that Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis have been neither true Catholics nor true Popes, by virtue of allegedly having espoused the heresy of Modernism, or of having otherwise denied or contradicted solemnly defined Catholic dogmas. Some of them classify John XXIII also as a Modernist antipope. The term "sedevacantism" is derived from the Latin phrase sede vacante, which literally means "the seat being vacant", specifically in the context of the vacancy of the Holy See. This phrase is normally used between the death or resignation of a pope and the election of his successor. "Sedevacantism" as a term in English appears to date from the 1980s, though the movement itself is older.
