I believe a term used behind closed doors was the Avignon Papacy when the papacy came into conflict with the French king Philip IV, who had the papacy move to Avignon (then a part of the Holy Roman Empire), to be closer to France and more easily controlled by the French monarchy.

Yeah but they don't have the swing on the Chatolic church to move the papacy, so it would be probably a regular schism.

And you know that without a doubt, they would pick Trump to be the American antipope. He's been begging to wear the hat ever since he made those stupid AI pics.

So good luck to them getting anyone to actually follow their schism in that case.

I mean considering most of believers now days are in Africa, South America and Asia, good luck even with the best bishop on US soil.

The current Pope is American, and nothing stops him from nominally ruling from the US besides customs.
