On whose authority will Justin Bieber be declared the greatest musician of all time?  The Pope's?  Will it be a Roma locuta est moment?  But that can't happen, because the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church.

If you sample various flavors of sedevacantism, various things could happen:

 

( a ) He becomes a potential Pope along with his successors (aka sedeprivationism).  I guess I'd be saying a prayer for the potential Holy Father each night.  Viva almost-Pope Francis!

( b ) He stops being Pope even though no one in the entire Catholic Church notices it for about a decade (if you buy Fr. Joaquín Sáenz y Arriaga, who in 1971 was the first person, apparently, to catch on).

( c ) God could transfer the Supreme Pontiff's seat from the see of Rome to the "see" of El Palmar de Troya based on apparitions.

( d ) God could let David Bawden, his mom and dad, and three buddies elect him to the Papacy after a Pope-hiatus of 32 years.  The Catholic Church would dwindle to about 30 people somewhere in Kansas.

 

I wish I were writing a parody, but sadly all four of these are believed by various groups.

Ok but that doest answer my question i don't think.......There have been antipopes before right ? So what happens ? Say 100 years from now a Pope started teaching Jesus Christ wasn't really God and all religions were equal ? What would happen? And here's a great Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber song...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZzGK6RLsXU

Mortify 2 believes a future Pope is going to become the false prophet and usher in the antichrist.....So at some point this Pope would have to become antipope......So the gates of hell wouldn't prevail against the Church but alot of Catholics who weren't paying attention would be deceived and would be found guilty of not worshiping in truth.....I will also add some respectable protestants think that this is the scenario that is going to play out also......

Doesn't happen this way.  Anti-popes have never been popes.  They have been elected by various bodies without the authority to elect a pope.   The legitimate Pope will NOT become an anti-pope.  It just doesn't happen.  Hasn't in 2000 years. No reason to believe it will now.
