Why was Christopher changed by the Catholic Church from pope to antipope in the nineteenth century?

A:The history of the tenth century is not always clear, especially in respect to some otherwise obscure popes. Christopher's predecessor Leo V was imprisoned and murdered either by his successor, Christopher, or the following year by Pope Sergius III.There should only be one pope at any one time, so if Christopher murdered Leo there is no problem and his election was valid. If, on the other hand, Leo was merely imprisoned by Christopher and was murdered by Pope Sergius III, who also murdered Christopher, then Sergius III would be a true pope, but Christopher was only an antipope.Christopher was considered a true pope until the nineteenth or twentieth century, but is now considered an anti-pope, which means that he is now considered not to have been properly elected because Leo was still in prison but alive.
