Antipope
person who claims to be, but is not recognized as, the legitimate pope
Antipope is a term of the Roman Catholic Church in the context of its official list of popes.[1] An antipope is not included in the list of popes in the Vatican's annual directory, Annuario Pontificio[2]
An antipope is a pretender who falsely claims to be pope or who wrongly opposes the legitimate and recognized pope.[3]
The existence or claims of an antipope produces a schism in the Roman Catholic Church. A conflict is caused by those who are opposing the authority of the pope.[4]

The uncertainty that in some cases results has made it advisable to abandon the assignation of successive numbers in the list of the popes."
