Description

The case of [Antipope Anacletus II](https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01447a.htm) vs. [Pope Innocent II](http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08012a.htm) seems analogous to what's happening in the Church today. Pope Innocent was elected a mere 3 hours before Anacletus, and they both received episcopal consecration the same day. Anacletus, who had great clout from making his fortune off usury, drove Pope Innocent away from Rome; thus, Anacletus was considered the valid pope by nearly everyone. When Anacletus died eight years later, Pope Innocent II convened the [Second Lateran Council](https://www.dailycatholic.org/history/10ecumen.htm), which annulled Anacletus's anti-papacy, reversed all the laws he enacted, and deposed the bishops and priests that Anacletus invalidly ordained.
