Some traditionalist Catholics reject the papal authority of [[Pope John XXIII]] (who called for the Vatican II council) or [[Pope Paul VI]] (the first post-Vatican II Pope), as well as their successors. This doctrine is called [[Sedevacantism]], meaning “vacant seat”. As could be imagined, the [[Holy See]] denounces traditionalist Catholic organizations who espouse this belief, while other groups within the movement may enjoy full communion with Rome.
