Earl Lucian Pulvermacher, was born in 1918. He entered the Capuchin Order in 1942 (where he was given a religious name of Lucian) and ordained a Roman Catholic Priest in 1948. After an initial period as a priest in Milwaukee he served as a missionary priest in Amami Oshima and later Okinawa. From 1970 to 1976 he served as a missionary in Australia. He left his Order and Australia without permission in 1976 and associated with some traditionalist catholic organisations that had opposed Vatican II. None of these satisfied them, whom he judged as too liberal and 'in error'. He gradually drifted away until the 1990s. In the mid 1990s he became convinced, based on unproven allegations, that Pope John XXIII had been a freemason, and that thus his election as pope in 1958 had been invalid. Were that to be so, not just his papacy and all his acts such as the calling of Vatican II would be invalid, but so in a chain reaction would be the conclave necessitated by his death, the resultant election of Paul VI and in turn both Popes John Paul. In a 'phoned in' conclave of an unrevealed number of conservative catholics who shared his views, Pulvermacher was 'elected' to the See of Peter in October 1998.
Pulvernacher insists that popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I and John Paul II were all in error (ie, not in step with the teaching of the Roman Catholic faith) and thus invalid, most especially John XXIII whom he claims was a freemason, making them anti-popes. According to Pulvemacher's theory, the See of Peter had been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. After a vacancy of forty years, it had now been filled by him (see also Sedevacantism).
Though he has adherents, his support is limited to among a few conservative catholics in Montana.
