Reply to comment by Brimstone-n-Treacle in TIL In the history of the Catholic Church there has been over a decade without a Pope on the throne. The longest continuous time the throne was empty was two years ten months from 1268 to 1271. by jamescookenotthatone
Having a Catholic cage match with two popes isn't that uncommon historically - they call it thunderdome the antipope.
