See main article Mysticalism

Besides Sedevacantists and Conclavists, there are a great many persons who claim to be Pope, but who do not claim to have been elected by men, but to have been constituted Pope by some supernatural figure from heaven in an apparition which was revealed to themselves.

The Frenchman, Michel Colin, who began his claim in 1953-54, and re-asserted it in 1963 during the Vatican II Council, is sometimes asserted to have been a "Mysticalist"; however, he and several others of these claimants have not arisen from within the Traditionalist Catholic movement, and so are not eligible to be considered here.

E.g.: The late Clemente Domingues y Gomez in Seville as Gregory VII; Julius Tischler as Peter II in Germany; Maurice Archieri as Peter II, France; Aime Baudet aka "Peter II", Brussels, Belgium; Peter Henry Bubois aka "Peter II", Canada, etc.

Manuel Alonso Corral in Seville as Peter II as the successor of Clemente Dominguez y Gomez, can be considered by extension as a Mysticalist; he is, however, better described as a Palmarian.
