    As at the beginning of 2005 how many Antipopes have there been and how many were regnant at that time?

    Question #56630. Asked by mochyn. (Apr 12 05 3:16 PM)

    Apparently there have been 42 antipopes, which is more than I had realized. No antipopes have appeared since the 15th century.

    Pope Joan is not counted as an antipope. Though he/she supposedly reigned from 853-855, in fact Leo IV was Pope from 847-855. The legend does claim that Joan gave birth while Pope.

    You know, I've just realized that you might not have meant "pregnant." (I assumed that was a typo.) They all thought they were "regnant," whether or not anyone else believed it.
