There’s a conspiracy theory that every Pope has been illegitimate since 1958. The reasoning is pretty dumb, but I’ll put it out here:
The reforms made during Vatican II are blasphemous.
No legitimate pope could endorse the blasphemy due to infallibility
Therefore the popes have been illegitimate.
I’m not Catholic, but I can see the fallacy there.
Interesting enough, the sedevacantists think the entire line after 1958 are pure antipopes, there’s a splinter group of sedeprivationists, who think like you said: the post-1958 line can regain legitimacy once they renounce the so-called heresy.
