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." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...

This leads us to think that Universi Dominici Gregis is like a single game to play; I see this game as chess because it requires strategy from the players on the board in order to reach a final victory.
And in this same game there is a chess move that represents the end of the game. In this move, the king cannot be covered by any other piece on the board and neither can he move it to another square without being taken by an opponent's piece on the same board. This move is called checkmate.
Pope Benedict XVI used this move when he used Canon 332.2 in the Code of Canon Law, according to Universi Dominici Gregis. Ratzinger did not move the munus piece, but the ministry piece. If he only used the sheikh, the king would only be threatened, the king could escape from him. But when he resorts to checkmate, the king is cornered and so the game has come to an end.
That totally cornered reign belongs to Pope Francis.
This means that this move is sufficient to affirm, without error, that the 2013 conclave is totally invalid. Because there is no longer any need to investigate whether there was another irregularity in this same conclave.
That is why it is not necessary for anyone to look for an alternative against this illegitimate pontificate of Bergoglio. Because that person would be against the prohibition that Pope Wojtila revealed to Bishop Gracida.
All that is needed is for the legitimate cardinals, before the 2013 conclave, to recognize this and act.
