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 this still unclear one, the angel in the very white and perhaps very bright robe tells the women to tell others and Peter first that He is risen (Mark 16:7). And this Church will thus rise again, like Christ who was not recognized by women after coming out in glory in the tomb.
And this Church, always united to Peter, whose seat is Roman, will be consistent with these facts; all the disciples, therefore, united to this Church recognized the Lord through the breaking of bread. They recognized this sacrament that will warm their hearts, although in the world totally opposite because it is cold and dark. We can conclude that all this will bring many into the same fold of the Lord.
The Pope will be the reflection visible to all that the Sun is the Risen Christ to the globalized and chaotic world, not the Sabbath with its customs (Colossians 2:16-17) and empty arguments that have always led this same world to a sad end.
It is necessary to have faith and hope for something better for Christendom and mankind in general.
The traditional Mass will be offered in this Church, we can conclude this too, through the fidelity of the faithful even in martyrdom, if necessary; united, however, always to Peter and his legitimate successors, even though many do not accept today's evidences that demonstrate the whole truth.
