The link from Franjo Šeper points to an empty page. Fixing the link to Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani makes the naming in the succession list inconsistent.

Wouldn't a redirect link make more sense here? - ClaudeMuncey

United Press Internationl reports that Ottaviani was elected Pope on October 26, 1958, which invalidates the election of Angelo Roncalli as Pope John XXIII to days later.

I just pulled this from the article -- this is a variant on a favorite urban legend of sedevecantists: that John XXIII was not validly elected. Usually, the real pope was supposed to be Siri. This grew out of a real incident at the 1958 conclave where the smoke looked white when it was supposed to be black, confusing everyone. This was debunked decades ago, but it still makes the rounds ClaudeMuncey 13:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
