The "anti-popes"

I think you you mean the "sede vacantists" not the Catholic Church. Sede Vancantists are fanatical Catholics who want to go back to the "good old days" - the days when none of them would have been pure enough to attend mass. They'd all have to stand at the back of the church wearing the gray robes of a penitant. They just don't KNOW that's what they want.
From Wikipedia:
Sedevacantism is a theological position embraced by a minority of traditionalist Catholics which holds that the papacy has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 (or, in some cases, the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963).
Sedevacantists believe that the subsequent claimants to the papal office — Paul VI (1963–1978), John Paul I (1978), John Paul II (1978–2005) and Benedict XVI (since 2005) — have been neither true Catholics nor true popes.
