The other Pope - Think Christian

Despite all the press coverage of Benedict XVI's inauguration, this is the first time I've heard of David Bawden, aka Pope Michael I:

Bawden, 45, has claimed the title of Michael I since 1990, when he was elected by six people - two of them his mother and late father - meeting in his father's consignment store in nearby Belvue. He has maintained his "Vatican in Exile" near Delia for the past dozen years.

According to the article, at least 10 people around the world have claimed the papacy since 1958.
