>> I'm new - I don't know how to do this, but please keep this article. I was doing research on Antipopes and found Maurice mentioned by: Why We Oppose Papal Claimants © 1999 by Robert F. Hess, Editor, the Saint Francis Newsletter:
 * Delete, fails WP:BIO. Being a self-proclaimed antipope is not inherent notability. --Dhartung | Talk 20:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Fifth in line is the Frenchman, Maurice Archieri, who goes by "Peter II." He is either in Paris, or one of its suburbs. His assistant priest originally wouldn't discuss with me who ordained and consecrated his pope. Archieri, according to his web page, was mysticly given the Papacy in 1995 "by operation of the Holy Spirit." (His web site now includes a section on the episcopal lineage of Archieri. It goes back into what appears to be Old Catholic lines.)

I wanted to learn more, so I looked Maurice up in Wikipedia. His own site is in French, so that is of limited help. That is the only reference I have at hand.

Are there "hundreds" of other people claiming to be pope? I don't know of very many. And if there are "hundreds", so what? IF they all wanted to be listed in Wikipedia, is Wikipedia unable to handle it? I guess I don't see the harm in listing it.

But, again, I'm new here and I really didn't open an account to get into these kinds of debates.
