Ok, so I've gotten a little more into my Catholic roots lately, because I have taken a class in Catholic Heritage. But, being a Catholic, that means I have to make that decision; which is the Pope and which is the anti-Pope? My parents think that the real Pope is the one in Rome, but I've been reading up on History, and I don't think that's the case. I read that during Italian Unification, the Italian government evicted the French soldiers defending Vatican City. The Pope was killed in shady circumstances, and many Bishops left with the French soldiers. The Pope in Rome was basically set up as a puppet Pope by the Italian government, justified by the few Bishops that failed to flee Rome. It's the Mexico City Pope, Pope Innocent XIV, that is the legitimate follower of Pope Pius IX. That is where the majority of the Bishops fled after the 'Sack of Vatican City'. I know the Italians claim that the French destroyed it rather than let it over to the Italians, but that's absurd. Pope Gegory XVII is nothing but a fraud.

Now I know that many people can get excited and overly radical on this issue; God forbid we have some South American extremists on the board. So I'd like to hear all your thoughts on the issue, but just keep it civil, ok guys?
