Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops."

In fact, St. Augustine says that where there are facts there are no arguments. However, it is necessary to emphasize even more that the deep elite clearly wants to tyrannize us and has removed a true pontiff for a false pontiff. When we forcibly remove someone, then it's clear that he was stopping them. But the elite changed the game and impeded him. If something is impeded, then it cannot be in practice what it was before. Although he wore a white cassock and blesses with apostolic blessing, his ministry turned into a non-ministry.
The appearance of freedom of a "Pope Emeritus" who even walked in the Vatican gardens freely praying his rosary was not really a freedom. Because also if someone is offside, then he was controlled. If he was controlled, then he could not express himself freely. Hence we see then the Mater Ecclesia more consistent with all that was a cloister or simply a prison without walls for controlledl.
And in this same vein we see the Vatican also under control of this elite. And that's to this day.
So it's no wonder if Bergoglio rules with an iron fist; the tyrannical elite has its tyrant in the Vatican who is consistent with its tyrannical interests.
