abstract
| - The Siri Thesis is the belief that Giuseppe Cardinal Siri, the long-serving and conservative Archbishop of Genoa, was actually elected pope in the 1958 papal conclave, but that his election was then suppressed. By 2006, the Siri Thesis was believed to be held by hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, mostly in Traditionalist Catholic circles. A branch of sedevacantists, adherents of the thesis, who are also known as Sirianists to adversaries of the Thesis, also believe that John XXIII and his officially-recognized successors (Paul VI, 1963-78; John Paul I, 1978-78; John Paul II, 1978-2005; and Benedict XVI, 2005 to ?) are antipopes, while Siri reigned as the suppressed head of the Catholic Church until his death in 1989.
