Tomb of antipope John XXIII.

He should not be confused with Pope John XXIII of the 20th century. The fact that there were 23 Popes named John during the first 1400 years of the Church and then no more for over 500 years is probably due to the controversial figure this Antipope represented. When Cardinal Angelo Roncalli was elected and became Pope John, there was some confusion as to whether or not he would be John XXIII or John XXIV; he then declared that he was John XXIII to put this question to rest. The decision of the 20th century Pope John XXIII not to be named John XXIV as might be expected serves as a confirmation of the antipope status of this first John XXIII. It should be noted, however, that the numbering of the Popes called John is debatable (as there was no John XX); for example, Gibbon refers to the Antipope John as John XXIII.
