Belief that Benedict XVI invalidly resigned

From Wikipedia
Benevacantism (a portmanteau of "Benedict" and "sedevacantism") is the conspiracy theory that Pope Benedict XVI did not validly resign the papacy in February 2013 and therefore remained pope, making Pope Francis an invalidly elected antipope. Believers of this theory are called "Benevacantists". Benevacantism emerged in conservative Catholic circles shortly after the election of Pope Francis in response to his less conservative theology. Benevacantists speculate that Benedict's resignation was invalid because Benedict had a faulty understanding of the papacy, or because external pressures made him not able to resign freely. After Benedict XVI died on 31 December 2022, some Benevacantists recognized Francis (still alive at the time) as the rightful pope while others adopted sedevacantism.
