Fury - I'm not sure where the word "anti-pope" is used in the Catholic Almanac. It depends on the context used as to how the prefix "anti" is construed. But using the New American Dictionary, "anti-" does not have a possible meaning of "substitute":

ANTIPOPES

This list of men who claimed or exercised the papal office in an uncanonical manner includes names, birthplaces and dates of alleged reigns.

And the concordance DOES show anti as having an acceptable use of 'substitute', to go along with the substitute/antipopes.

Antipopes are not "substitutes" for a real pope. Your reasoning is fatuous. For one it confuses English and Greek meanings, which are not always the same. Antipasta is not a substitute for pasta.

Anti-popes were what we would call "un-popes." They were false popes, not true popes. Do you think an antidote is a substitute for a dote?

Can you please provide a link for the concordance?

I believe the dictionary I used provided an accurate description of the definitions for "anti-". That's not to say there are not other defintitions, subject to seeing a citation, of course. Thanks...
