Does anyone know if canonical authorities have written anything about such a simple yet complex issue that may be related to the current crisis the Church is experiencing? During the reign of the 37 antipopes who held the power of the keys, was there any alteration in the structure of the Church's apostolic succession, in the sense of some invalid appointments of bishops and consequently also invalid ordinations of priests?
there's a contemporary anti-pope, Peter III (of the palmarian church from spain. bad cult, beautiful altars and processions chariots tho) he is from the Thuc lineage through a confusing but seemingly valid chain of clandestine ordinations. At what point did\does a guy become a "qualified" anti-pope, or just someone who thinks he is the real Pope? Is it a matter of plausibility of him being the correct one, or power, or ordination line?
I just posted this on another thread today where Mother Miriam discusses this issue of a Pope teaching heresy. You can listen to it here https://thestationofthecross.com/programs/mother-miriam-live/ title is "All Religions lead to Heaven"
