Schismatic sect with its own anti-pope. Established in 1975 by Clemente DomÃnguez y Gómez, an insurance broker from Seville, Spain, who claimed the Virgin Mary appeared to him at a shrine outside the small village of El Palmar de Troya in Andalucia. In 1978 he announced that he had been crowned Pope by Jesus Christ in a vision, and established his own Holy See in Seville, taking the name Gregory XVII and naming cardinals. DomÃnguez later declared the Catholic Church a false church, and "excommunicated" Pope John Paul II; he canonized Francisco Franco and Christopher Columbus. Upon DomÃnguez' death in March 2005, Manuel Alonso Corral succeeded him, taking the name Peter II.
