re: The Young Pope on HBO

Y'all do realize that this is about an antipope and not a real Pope, right? He was a schismatic Roman Catholic priest. He was the head of the "True Catholic Church," a small conclavist group that elected him Pope Pius XIII in October 1998 - not the "real" Catholic Church.

Why do they call it "The Young Pope"? Lucien Pulvermacher was 80 years old when he declared himself Pius XIII.
