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.

When the human being sincerely seeks the transcendent, he does so by natural law in the face of ignorance in himself for the truth that is not yet manifested.

(Acts 17:22-23).'"
True dialogue in the face of circumstances in the world is always to use the Pauline example above. That is to say, the Catholic must recognize that charity is synonymous with truth, even though the same truth is not always pleasant. It is not to be intolerant of everyone or anyone, like the Jews who first observed this same St. Paul on his visit to the Areopagus, and then arrested and killed him, always maliciously influencing the State against the Catholic Faith. By the way, we remember that the Church has always been tolerant of everyone.
