# David Bawden

> David Allen Bawden, who took the name Pope Michael, was an American conclavist claimant to the papacy. Bawden believed that the Catholic Church had apostatized from the Catholic faith since the Second Vatican Council and that there had been no legitimate popes elected since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. In 1990, he was elected pope by a group of six laypeople, including himself and his parents. In 2011, he was ordained a priest and consecrated a bishop by an Independent Catholic bishop.
