No, that's not what antipope is. An antipope is a false claimant of the Holy See. Meaning he is a false pope.
That doesn't match the other definitions I've been able to find. Anyhow, your claim is circular since you're saying he's a false pope because he's the false pope.
What sources are you looking at for the definition? Provide the link/s.
Where did I say he's a false pope because he is a false pope?

Literally just duckduckgo "antipope". Most of the pages about it seem to agree it's any pretender to the bishopric of rome. Some say it's any "serious" pretender, or any opposition to the "legally elected" bishop, but same diff.

Seemed to be what you were saying in the last comment, if not fair enough. Anyhow, I've pointed out that you're using a definition of antipope that most people don't share, if you want to keep using it then go ahead.
