Why did they change the Pope's name?
"They" did not change the name of the new pope, When elected, the new pope has the choice of keeping his Christian name or choosing a regnal name that he wishes to be known as while serving. When Christ named Simon as the first pope he changed his name to Peter. After Peter, the next pope to choose a new name was Pope John II who was elected in the year 533. His given name was Mercurius and he did not think it proper for a Catholic pope to be named for a pagan Roman god - Mercury.

What was the Babylonian Captivity in 1309 1377?
King Philip IV of France ruled during the 13th and 14th centuries. He felt he had the right to tax the clergy (church officials) in France. When Pope Boniface refused, King Philip sent troops to capture the Pope who later died of natural causes. King Philip ensured the election of a French Pope who moved the papacy to Avignon, France. The next six popes were also French.The time period in which the papal capital was in Avignon was called the Babylonian Captivity (1309-1377) named after the Hebrew captivity in Babylonia. During this time, the Pope's power gradually declined. Pope Gregory IX (1370 - 1378) returned to Rome to try to bolster his authority and died while residing there. The cardinals chose a new Italian pope and the French cardinals chose a French pope, each pope excommunicated the other. There were now two popes and this division in church power was called the Western Schism. This divided Europe between 1378 and 1417. France and its allies supported the Avignon pope, while England and its allies supported the Italian pope. As a result of this schism, the pope and the Catholic Church itself lost much political power and moral resolve.

Who dictates if a pope is an anti pope or false pope?
Catholic AnswerAs there hasn't been an anti-pope since the fifteenth century, I think we don't have to worry about this so much. The Cardinals are the Bishops who are responsible for electing a new Pope, and if there is someone claiming to be Pope who was not elected by the Cardinals and is not ruling in the Vatican, then I think it would be pretty obvious to most people. The only time there was a real problem was in the fourteenth century when the Pope had moved to Avignon, France for a number of years, and there was an anti-Pope elected in Rome while the real Pope was in France. Before the whole mess got sorted out, there were three claimants to the Papal throne, they all ended up resigning and a new Pope was validly elected. For a complete list of popes, along with the anti-popes see the link below.
