At the height of the Western Schism, there was, as many know, a French Pope and a Roman Pope. Something I wasn't aware of until a few minutes ago, however, was that there was also an Antipope in Pisa.
The questions are:
1) How many Popes can we get at once?
2) How long can these Papacies last separately before collapsing or becoming a separate Christian sect?
3) What is the effect of so many Popes?
