Why is this site named Antipope?

Maybe the drunken sysadmin had a more classical or historical education than most.

What does AutoPope mean though? The author glosses over this implying it means to pontificate- however- I have not seen this definition anywhere.

Some reference to Les Technopères by writer Alejandro Jodorowsky?

I'm having a Mandela Effect moment. I could have sworn it was a typo for "antipode" instead, but that must be a false memory I picked up somewhere.

Disappointed it isn’t to do with Robert Rankin. Oh well.

"Automatic pope." WAT

Typo when it was created.

I just assumed he was against the pope and nonsense like that.
