Sedevacantists claim the current Popes are heretics for various reforms which sedevacantists see as innovations in the practices of Roman Catholic Church which were adopted during the reigns of Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, including aspects of the Second Vatican Council. Chief among these criticized reforms is the replacing of the Tridentine Mass. Many sedevacantists also object to the celebration of the Mass in the vernacular, despite the fact that various provisions existed for the celebration of the Mass in the vernacular before Pope John XXIII. Since the opinion of many Catholic theologians is that a heretical Pope would cease to be Catholic and therefore cease to be Pope, sedevacantists believe the current Bishops of Rome are not actually popes. This article deals with the 20th-century pope. ... The Servant of God Pope Paul VI (Latin: ), born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini (September 26, 1897 – August 6, 1978), reigned as Pope of the Catholic Church and as sovereign of Vatican City from 1963 to 1978. ...

Some groups of sedevacantists, called conclavists, have their own popes to replace the popes they reject. They are sometimes called antipopes, but, in contrast to historical antipopes, the number of their followers is minuscule and they do not qualify for the title of "antipope" as defined by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1998 CD-ROM edition: "in the Roman Catholic church, one who opposes the legitimately elected bishop of Rome, endeavours to secure the papal throne, and to some degree succeeds materially in the attempt." Some of them have developed their own religious infrastructure, thus being popes of their particular sect, while for the Roman Catholic Church as generally recognized they are merely excommunicated schismatics. ...
